Instructions
Bread: -1 Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan very well with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan, or line the pan with a parchment paper sling and spray the paper with cooking spray; set aside. -1 To a large bowl, add the the first 7 ingredients, through vanilla, and whisk to combine. -1 Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. -1 Add the bananas and stir to combine. -1 Turn batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. -1 Evenly drizzle the salted caramel over the top, leaving a bare margin near the edges, and lightly mix and swirl with a butter knife so that the caramel goes down about 1 inch and mixes in a bit. Caution - if it touches the edges or the bottom of the pan, it will likely burn and the bread will stick. -1 Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. -1 Allow bread to cool in pan on a wire rack while you make the glaze. Glaze: -1 To a small saucepan, add the butter and heat over medium-high heat to melt. -1 Add the brown sugar, vanilla, optional salt, and whisk to combine until the brown sugar has dissolved. -1 Reduce the heat to low and allow mixture to simmer very gently for 3 minutes; it should be very gently bubbling with a dimpled appearance, no need to stir it. -1 Allow the glaze to cool to a warm temperature in the pan for about 5 minutes before evenly drizzling it over the bread. You can either glaze the bread while it's still in the pan or turn it out onto a wire rack and glaze there, whatever is easier. -1 Allow glaze to set up fully before slicing and serving, about 1 hour.View original recipe
