Banana bread is a treat that I like to make fairly often and there are a lot of different ways to enjoy it! One of my favourite banana breads is a caramel version which uses caramel sauce as a sweetener and I typically make it over the holidays since I am making plenty of caramel sauce then! This caramel banana bread recipe is a slight modification of my favourite banana bread recipe that replaces some of the sugar with homemade caramel sauce! I like to make the caramel sauce ahead of time and that makes this recipe super simple and easy to make, it’s just a matter of mixing the wet ingredients together, mixing the dry ingredients, before mixing the dry into the wet and baking in a loaf pan! Since I like caramel sauce so much, I pour even more caramel sauce over the baked bread, and a pinch of salt brightens things up a bit as well!

The directions mention cinammon, but not in the ingredients. I’m guessing a teaspoon or so, right?
The cinnamon was for another version of this recipe that I was testing. I generally do not add the cinnamon when making this bread, but a hint of it is a nice addition!
