**UPSIDE-DOWN BANANA BREAD**
Serves 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
**INGREDIENTS**
Bread
* ½ cup brown sugar, packed
* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
* 2 bananas, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
* 1½ cups whole wheat flour
* ¾ cup granulated white sugar
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* ½ teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 cup overripe bananas, mashed
* 2 large eggs
* ⅓ cup coconut oil (or oil of choice)
* ⅓ cup buttermilk
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Caramel Glaze
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan.
1. Spread the brown sugar on the bottom of the loaf pan. Dot with the butter and place in the oven for about 8 minutes.
1. Stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and spread evenly across the bottom of the pan.
1. Place the banana slices in the pan in a single layer on top of the melted sugar.
1. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
1. In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients, and mix well.
1. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, and mix until just combined.
1. Pour the batter into the loaf pan over the sliced bananas.
1. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
1. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before inverting onto a plate. The bananas should face up when you do so.
1. Prepare the caramel glaze by placing the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes.
1. When you’re ready to serve, pour the glaze evenly over the bread. The glaze will discolor as it sits. Only glaze when ready to serve.
CheatedOnOnce: Holy shit, this looks wild as fuck. I’m excited to make this – simple and easy! How do I make my banana bread more… “firm”? Mine kind of deflates after cooling and I can’t cut proper slices, it just kinda falls apart.
HOVSEPYAN0: I’m pretty confident i got diabetes just watching this.
BadXeimus: So I’m sure this tastes awesome but mushed up banana makes me gag like bag. ( no idea why)
And my stomach just kept turning when I watched this.
motsanciens: The size of the banana mush bowl gives me anxiety.
BadXeimus: After yeah.
piiing: i’m not a big fan of bananas, but this looks good! i eat a banana every day for their nutritional benefits, but it’s not enjoyable. i wonder how a zucchini bread would taste baked in this fashion.
99muppets: God i hate bananas, but i’d be willing to try this!
