This moist banana bread gets extra richness from a swirl of thick caramel sauce running through the batter, plus pockets of melted chocolate chips in every bite. It's a comforting twist on classic banana bread, ideal for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or dessert with coffee.

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, then whisk in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the banana mixture and stir in.

  4. Add the flour and stir just until no dry streaks remain; avoid overmixing.

  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, drizzle with half the caramel sauce, then repeat with the remaining batter and caramel sauce.

  7. Using a butter knife, swirl the caramel through the batter in a zigzag pattern without overmixing.

  8. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, about 55 to 60 minutes.

  9. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely before slicing.
