bob evans banana bread recipe

Description
A classic banana bread recipe enhanced with a rich, buttery dulce de leche swirl for added moisture and sweetness. This indulgent loaf is perfect for a special breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 can (396g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2.25 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons (8g) baking soda
- 0.75 teaspoon (5g) fine sea salt
- 0.5 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (5mL) vanilla extract
- 3–4 medium (450g) very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 tablespoon (15g) powdered sugar (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Make Dulce de Leche: Place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a large pot and submerge in water. Simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, ensuring the can remains covered with water; cool completely before opening.
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter with both sugars. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold Batter Components: Gently fold the mashed bananas into the wet mixture. Add the dry ingredient mixture and stir carefully until just combined; do not overmix.
- Layer and Swirl Batter: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the dulce de leche on top, then gently swirl with a knife.
- Finish Layering and Bake: Spoon the remaining batter over the first layer. Dollop the rest of the dulce de leche on top and swirl gently again. Bake for 55-65 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra dulce de leche before slicing.
Notes
To avoid a dense loaf, make sure not to overmix the batter once the flour is added. Use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor and moisture. Store-bought dulce de leche can be used as a time-saving alternative.
