cinnamon toffee banana bread ingredients

This cinnamon toffee banana bread is like a classic banana bread recipe, but with a cinnamon swirl running throughout it. Here’s what you’ll need to make it: 

• Butter: Always use unsalted butter in baked goods. The amount of salt in salted butters can vary. If you are using salted butter please decrease the salt to ¼ tsp.
• Sugar: Use brown sugar to sweeten the bread and make it ultra moist. 
• Eggs: Must be room temperature before being mixed into the batter. 
• Vanilla extract: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. 
• Bananas: You’ll need about 4 ripe bananas for this recipe. They should be speckled, but not completely black. 
• All-purpose flour: Spoon and level the flour when measuring it. Don’t scoop the flour out of the bag with your measuring cup, otherwise they flour will be compacted and you’ll accidentally measure out too much. 
• Baking powder and baking soda: Helps the banana bread rise in the oven. 
• Cinnamon and salt: Cinnamon is used in the batter and in the cinnamon-sugar swirl. The salt balances out the sweetness of the batter and enhances the banana flavor. 

how to ripen banana’s quickly for Cinnamon Toffee Banana Bread

If you cannot live without banana bread and I know you can’t but yours aren’t quite there yet, this is a quick trick you can use to speed up that process.

First, if you don’t have any bananas to start with, most grocery stores keep a small stack of almost-ripe bananas with the rest of the bananas. They’re usually individuals that either fell of the bunches or were plucked off by shoppers.

To ripen them for baking, preheat your oven to 250F and place your bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, peels and all. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bananas are completely brown…borderline black.

Let the bananas cool completely then peel and mash. They’ll be a little liquidy but that’s OK. It’s just the juices released from the bananas under the high heat.
