Loaf of banana bread with 3 slices to show inside of caramel chocolate chip banana bread

Banana bread is one of my favorite treats. While I love the classic, this Caramel Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is amped up. Its studded with chocolate chips and caramel bits. I found caramel bits made by Kraft at my local Wal-Mart in the baking aisle. No need to melt them down, just add them like you would chocolate chips!

Banana bread is one of those desserts that was always around (along with chocolate chip cookies) growing up. When we are all together in the summer time, my Grandmother still brings out a plate of banana bread for dessert. She keeps some in the freezer and it doesn’t take much time to thaw. Especially on hot days.

It reminds me of summertime, but really this is a dessert to be enjoyed year round. Who says it has to be a dessert, though? It makes a lovely breakfast as well….

So, if you have some ripe bananas sitting on your counter just waiting to be baked, grab some chocolate chips and caramel bits and give my Caramel Chocolate Chip Banana Bread a try!

Ingredients for Caramel Chocolate Chip Banana Bread:

For this recipe, you will need a large bowl, a medium bowl and a 9×5 loaf pan.

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
4 medium sized Bananas
2 Eggs
1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter, Melted
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 Cup Caramel Bits
1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan, set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, set aside.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas and add eggs, melted butter, sugars and vanilla.
Add your wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.
Add your chocolate chips and caramel bits, stir until combined, pour into your prepared pan and bake 60 minutes.
Depending your oven, you may need longer. Check it at 60 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it does not come out clean, cook longer in 5 minute increments until the toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let sit 5-10 minutes before removing from pan. Place on a cooling rack and cool completely.
