| Toffee Pecan Banana Bread |
I can’t even
begin to count the seemingly infinite number of banana bread recipes I’ve tried
out over the years. Banana breads with yogurt, with banana breads with apple
sauce, banana breads with mayonnaise, vegan banana breads, carrot raisin banana
bread, and although they were alright for the most part, my quest for the
perfect banana bread continued.
One day, I
stumbled upon this strange recipe that called for banana bread batter mixed
into a crumbly topping—something I’d never heard of. Could this be what was
missing from all these other banana breads?
This moist,
but reasonably dense banana breads is one of the best banana breads I’ve made
yet. I took this great recipe for the Best Banana Bread
(ever) and made a few
alterations to make it my version of the Best Toffee Pecan Banana Bread (ever)!
My favourite part is the toffee sprinkled on top. It adds a deliciously rich,
caramel crunch to the bread.
I made two of
these in mini loaf forms and one in a cake form. This fancy banana bread makes
a fantastic gift and it’s easily transportable. You can wrap it up with
parchment paper and tie it up with some ribbon or craft straw, or use some
cellophane.
