The Story Behind Toffee Banana Bread

I had my sister-in-law and her family over for dinner a few days ago. Actually, she invited herself over with her yummy taco meat and I provided the sides. It was a great feast. While we were getting everything ready, we started talking about an assortment of things.

We went from a spiritual conversation, to recent annoyances we had encountered, to banana bread. She had spied my extremely ripe bananas on the counter. I assured her that I was planning on making banana bread but was waiting for some inspiration to hit so I wasn’t making my go-to Healthy Banana Bread with Yogurt. While I do love that recipe, I was really wanted to try something different.

About a month ago when we were over at their house, I surprised her husband with a Toffee Banana cookie. He absolutely loves banana and toffee together, and the cookies were no different. However, while my sister-in-law and I were talking, she suggested that I put white chocolate chips in the banana bread. Supposedly that is what her grandmother used to do. I’m not a huge white chocolate chip fan, so that didn’t sound that great to me.

However, when she suggested that I put Heath bits in the bread, I knew that was the inspiration I had been waiting on. The toffee bits create a nice caramel taste and great chewy texture. This is a step up from a typical banana bread, but still extremely tasty.

F.A.Q.S for Toffee Banana Bread

Can I make this recipe into mini loaves?

Yes! I typically make 3-4 mini loaves with this amount of batter.

My bread wasn’t cooked all the way through.

If your bread is still doughy or looks slightly dough on the top after you have baked it the full amount, place foil on top of the bread and bake in 5 minutes increments until it looks down or a toothpick comes out clean.

Can I use the chocolate Heath bits?

You definitely can, but it will be sweeter and a little more messy when eating it. Here is a link to the ones I prefer for this recipe.

Course bread, Breakfast

Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup granulated white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp sea salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 bag Heath bits (not with the chocolate coating)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°.
In a medium size mixing bowl, cream together your butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You may mix with a wooden spoon or hand mixer.
Add in your 3 ripe bananas making sure to smash them really well so there aren't big chunks. Mix together with the sugar/butter mixture.
Next you want to add in your vanilla and eggs. The batter will look a little liquidy and separated, but that's okay.
Dump in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Finally add in the heath bits and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour into a greased 9×5 bread pan. I actually added parchment paper to prevent any sticking and then sprayed on top of the parchment paper.
Bake at 350° for 60-70 minutes or until center is cooked through.
