PIN IT NOW!
It has been a looong time since I shared a banana bread recipe with you all and I couldn’t be more excited about this one! Butterscotch Banana Bread. Seriously, why has it taken me so long to think of this one?? I had some leftover butterscotch chips from the Easy Butterscotch Pecan Cinnamon Rolls last week and I was trying to think of what I could use them for… I looked over at the counter and spotted some gorgeously ripe bananas – just perfect for banana bread!
Banana bread is one of those mystical creations that taste good no matter what you put in it. Zucchini, blueberries, peanut butter, heck – even Reese’s! Each version seems better than the last!
I used my sister’s recipe that I’ve been using forEVER and it just never fails to amaze me with how good it is. The bread is so moist, so soft, and honestly, just melts in your mouth. The crunchy exterior is to die for and if it looks like it’s getting too brown, don’t worry about it! Let it bake and the magic will happen.
Remember, how it’s a no TV week this week for the boys? Well, banana bread is yet another recipe that the kids can help with. You really can’t mess it up and for some reason, my little boys LOVE smashing the bananas 🙂
Bryce assumed that since he helped with the bread that the entire loaf was going to be HIS. I kid you not, 2 seconds after I took it out of the oven he was in the kitchen with a fork ready to dive right in. I explained that mommy needed to let it cool so she could get some pictures. He asked “So, like two minutes?” Ha! If only 🙂
As soon as I gave the go-ahead (a mere two minutes later…{wink}) he was gobbling down his first slice. Next thing I knew, I looked over and the THREE slices I had cut for the shots were GONE. Like disappeared. In his mouth. You know what Bryce says to me?? “Mommy, you KNOW I love banana bread!”
Well, then by all means, go ahead and get yourself some son!
You are going to love how the butterscotch chips add a buttery, sweetness to this butterscotch banana bread. It’s not overly sweet, by any means, and doesn’t detract from the banana-y-ness of the bread. The three slices that somehow survived the carnage from the boys made a delicious breakfast this morning with some fresh fruit.

Would this work as muffins? How long would it need to bake then?

You had me at “butterscotch”! I made your recipe and it was great! The flavors of the bananas, butterscotch and butter were amazing. My husband called me each morning from work to tell me it was his favorite banana bread recipe I have made so far. Thank you for sharing it!

Did you use a mixer or mixed the mixture by hand?
Erica says
I love this recipe! I did tweek it to my taste, and swapped out 1 C. AP-flour for spelt flour…Absolutely moist and yummy. My hubby doesn’t like banana’s so I hid the flavor by adding extra vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon…He never knew! 🙂 Definately gonna add this recipe to my “new traditions” file, it is worthy! Thanks!
Kirstie says
This banana bread was delicious, most of the butterscotch chips ended up at the bottom but it was still fantastic! The hubby gushed about it which is really saying something! Just curious how you got the chips to stay even throughout the bread?

Great question Kirstie! Reserve a little of the flour mixture – just a tablespoon or two – and toss the chips with the flour before mixing in. It keeps them “afloat” in the bread. Glad you enjoyed it!
Louann says
Me, my fiance and son all love banana bread. I stumbled on this recipe today doing a search on Google for my overripe bananas. I am definitely making this soon. It looks so easy. No longer will I buy banana bread when I can make it homemade.
Louann says
I made this today. It is so good. My two year old gave it an UMMM and his happy dance. This will be made again. Thanks for the recipe.

That is too funny about your son… my little brother is the same way! He never quite gets why I need to take a picture, or rather he never has the patience to wait for me to take a picture before diving in head first with a fork! Great recipe! Can’t wait to try it 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh these boys 🙂 Thank you so much!
