Caramel Banana Loaf

April 6, 2014 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 6 Comments

Caramel Banana Loaf recipe

The first time I was served banana bread for breakfast was on our honeymoon in Fiji many years ago. It is so delicious and the flavour of bananas is wonderful any time of the day. If you are eating it as a breakfast treat, it is especially nice lightly toasted, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with slices of fresh banana. Yumm ….

Over the years I have tried many recipes for banana cake and banana bread. Our all time favourite is Caramel Banana Loaf. I was looking for the recipe recently and was surprised that we haven’t posted it before as it is a big favourite in our home.

Caramel Banana Loaf

This week I baked a Caramel Banana Loaf for a friend. I baked it in a silicon paper liner, wrapped it with some printed greaseproof paper (purchased from this etsy store), and tied it with red and white bakers twine.

Banana Caramel Loaf - A Spoonful of Sugar

I have been experimenting more with the settings on my camera and with my backdrops to make my photos whiter and brighter. This recipe gave me the opportunity to try out my new white photography board. The Man of the House bought some lengths of pine lining and used them to make a board, which he spray painted white. It is the perfect back drop for craft and food photography. I hope to get him to make more in different colours. He did a terrific job on spray painting our red chair this week.

    Hi, sorry but can you tell me if your recipe should have eggs in? You say ‘beat in each one at a time’ but you have no eggs under ingredients.
    Thanks and hope holiday is going well.

      OMG – I am so sorry. Have updated recipe and added in the two eggs. Thanks for picking up on that oversight.

      Happy Easter!

    This looks so yummy! I love banana bread and grew up eating it. Love how you wrapped this up pretty for your friend, lucky duck! I think your photos are beautiful. Kudos to you for the pics and for having a husband to support you in your blogging endeavors!

      Thanks Jelli for your lovely comment. Banana bread is big favourite here. I have been working on improving my photos – when I look back at when we first started in 2008 they have come a long way.
