The Beauty of Banana Bread 

Banana bread is loved for a reason: it’s easy to make, uses ingredients you probably already have on hand, and fills your kitchen with delicious warmth. And when you top it with chunks of Blondie, something magical happens:

• Creamy banana and caramelized toffee equal a match made in heaven
• Ginger-mango fusion brings a new flavor dimension to your baked goods 
• Sweet and crunchy with roasted sesame seeds and lightly salted macadamia nuts 

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups flour
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. cinnamon
• ¾ cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 ½ tsp. baking soda
• ½ cup buttermilk
• 2 ¼ cups sugar
• 2 cups mashed bananas
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 ½ cups roasted and chopped macadamia nuts

Makes two large loaves.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
• Sift together flour, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix and set aside.
• Combine oil and sugar and beat on low for 5 minutes.
• Add eggs and vanilla and beat for 1 minute.
• Stir baking soda into the buttermilk and add to the mixture.
• Add dry ingredients a little at a time. Do not overmix.
• Add bananas and nuts.
• Pour the batter into two loaf pans that have been prepped with baking spray or butter and dusted with flour.
• Place in preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour.
• While the bread bakes, chop up 5-6 pieces of Blondie toffee.
• Remove bread from the oven and place on a wire rack. While the bread is slightly cooled, gently press the chopped toffee into the top of each loaf. 
• Once the bread has cooled, gently remove it from the pans and enjoy!

How to Serve

Enjoy it warm with a pat of butter, toasted for breakfast, or topped with ice cream for a late-night dessert. It also makes the sweetest gift, especially when paired with a triangle-treat of Blondie.
