I have always been a banana bread fan, but when I tried this Brown Sugar Banana Bread, it quickly became my new favorite dessert! I think it might become yours too 🙂

The steps for the banana bread itself are pretty standard.

Begin with brown sugar (I prefer light brown in this recipe), eggs, vanilla and all-purpose flour.

Next add baking soda, baking powder, salt and melted butter.

Spread the batter into a quarter-sheet pan. If you don’t have this smaller sized sheet pan, just use a 9″x13″ cake pan.

Next comes the brown sugar topping and this is what sets the recipe apart from all others.

Adding brown sugar to the pan

Bake until a toothpick inserted comes clean. Some of the brown sugar melts and caramelizes, some remains intact.

It’s moist and tender with some of that topping being a bit crispy. It’s so good!

That dollop of whipped cream is oh-so-necessary to complete my version of this recipe for Brown Sugar Banana Bread. I really hope you give this one a try!

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: banana
Servings: 12 squares
Calories:

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c Butter melted and cooled
  • 2/3 c Brown Sugar I used light brown sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 3 medium Bananas OR just under 2 cups mashed
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 3/4 c All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Salt if your butter is UNsalted, increase this to 1/4 tsp

FOR THE TOPPING:

  • 1/2 c Light Brown Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a small quarter-sized sheet pan with parchment. Use cooking spray first as it helps to anchor the parchment to the pan, making for easier distribution of the batter.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the bananas, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. Give it a quick mix. It will still appear lumpy at this point.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat just until light and fluffy.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread the batter in the prepared sheet pan.
  • Top with additional brown sugar and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes clean.
  • Cool and serve with whipped cream.
