Butterscotch Banana Bread

May 12, 2021 by [email protected] 36 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Have some overripe bananas on your counter? Make this Butterscotch Banana bread with little pockets of butterscotch flavor throughout.

If you follow my blog you will know that I’m not a big baker.  I’m getting better, but I still prefer a quick no-bake dessert over breaking out the cake pans.  However, this bread is so easy and comes out of the oven so perfect that I find myself making it over and over again.  The inside ends up being soft and moist and the outside gets a slightly crunchy crust.  This combination has me making this treat at least every other week.

Since I started making this banana bread recipe, I’ve realized there is no better smell than something like bread baking in the oven.  Sweet and buttery almost.  Reminds me of growing up and my mom making big bowls and loaf after loaf of zucchini bread. While I can’t get my boys to touch the stuff, they do love banana bread.  They might eat it at night or even in the morning for breakfast with strawberries.

You cannot go wrong with this simple quick bread recipe.

How to make Butterscotch Banana Bread:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the bananas, sugar, eggs, melted butter, baking soda, salt, and vanilla.

Mix the ingredients together. Then add the flour to the base.

Mix in the flour. Finally, add the butterscotch chips.

Grease one loaf pan with butter or oil then add the batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Sniff the air over and over again while it bakes. 

Serve warm with LOTS of butter.

And here you are……

From our home in the Bottom Left of the Mitten to yours ~ Enjoy!

    I love banana bread! Just like you I’m not a big baker… I prefer simple fruit and non baking recipe but just for banana bread I often make an exception. I’m clearly needed to try this version ASAP!

    I’m so surprised that your boys won’t eat zucchini bread. My mom used to bake loaf after loaf when we were growing up and it never lasted very long.

    I’m a big butterscotch fan so I absolutely adore those delicious little pockets of butterscotch nestled within the banana bread. So good!

        This sounds AMAZING! I have overripe plantains and I know they are different from bananas mainly because.of the amount of starch. Do you think I’d need to make any adjustments to the recipe?

          Hello Mia! While I haven’t myself used plantains in baking, I found a lovely post that explains the difference between cooking with plantain & bananas in bread. Find the post here —> https://www.butfirstchai.com/2020/05/ripe-plantain-sweet-bread.html. Let me know how it turns out.

    It’s delicious, but I set my timer for an hour and the edges are burnt. My oven generally is right on the nose with recipe times.
