1/4 cup of cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of milk
For the Sweet Caramel Sauce:
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of thick cream
1/4 cup of butter without salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
A little bit of salt
You can add chopped nuts or toffee bits on top if you like.
Directions:
Make the batter.
Turn on your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a big bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until everything is well mixed together.
Put the eggs in one by one, and mix well each time you add one. Add the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt using a whisk. Slowly mix the powdered ingredients into the mashed bananas until they are just mixed together.
Make a Marble Swirl:
Split the batter into two equal parts. In one part, mix the cocoa powder and milk together until well combined.
Put spoonfuls of the banana and chocolate batter alternately into the loaf pan that has been prepared. Use a knife or stick to gently mix the two mixtures together, making a swirled pattern.
Make the bread.
Put in the oven that has been preheated for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool down completely.
Make the caramel topping:
In a small pot, mix the brown sugar, thick cream, and butter. Heat the mixture on medium heat, stirring continuously until it starts boiling.
Keep cooking for 2-3 minutes more, or until the sauce becomes a bit thicker. Take the mixture off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and a little bit of salt.
Let the glaze cool for a bit until it thickens a little, then pour it on top of the banana bread after it has cooled. If you want, add some chopped nuts or toffee bits for a crunchy texture.
To help or assist.
After the glaze hardens, cut the banana bread into slices and serve. You can eat the bread either warm or at room temperature. Keep any extra food in a sealed container.
