For the Batter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, light brown sugar, canola oil, granulated sugar, sour cream, instant espresso, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and mashed bananas until just combined.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, drizzle caramel sauce, and add the remaining batter, swirling it gently.
  5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean; the top should be golden brown.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Prepare the glaze by melting butter and brown sugar.
  7. Drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled banana bread and let it soak in.
