Bananas Foster Banana Bread
Description
Bananas Foster Banana Bread combines ripe mashed bananas with flour, baking agents, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to create a moist and tender loaf. A streusel topping made of chopped walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter adds crunch and warmth. Baking in a greased loaf pan produces a gently domed, dense but soft bread with a nutty crust.
A finishing rum glaze, made by boiling butter, water, brown sugar, and light rum, is poured over the cooled loaf to soak in, imparting a rich, buttery sweetness with a subtle rum flavor reminiscent of the classic Bananas Foster dessert.
This banana bread works well for a cozy breakfast treat or lightly sweet dessert alongside coffee or tea. Its moist texture pairs with the crunch of the streusel and the depth from the rum glaze for balanced flavors.
Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg
- 3 banana mashed, medium
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1½ cups walnuts chopped
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter
For the Rum Glaze:
- ¼ cup butter (4 tablespoons )
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup rum
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- 2. Combine ingredients for streusel topping in a medium bowl and combine with fingers to create a crumbly topping with the butter evenly distributed. Set aside.
- 3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl to combine. Set aside.
- 4. On medium speed, beat the sugar and vegetable oil to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each until combined. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat to combine. Alternatively add the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat just until the flour is incorporated and finish mixing with a spatula.
- 5. Spread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter. Bake until a thin knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean, about 60 minutes.
- 6. To make the rum glaze, combine the butter, water and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- 7. Cool the cake on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, using a skewer poke holes all over the top of the loaf. Spoon about ¼ cup of the rum glaze all over the loaf. Let the cake sit for about 5 minutes and then spoon the remaining glaze over it, a little at a time, until it is all absorbed into the bread.
