🍽 Serving Suggestions
-
Serve warm slices with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
-
Pair with coffee or chai for a luxurious breakfast or afternoon treat.
-
For an extra flourish, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over the glaze — it beautifully balances the sweetness.
💡 Tips for Success
-
Use ripe bananas: The riper, the better. Dark, spotty bananas yield the best flavor and moisture.
-
Don’t overmix: Overmixing can make the bread dense. Fold gently for a soft, tender crumb.
-
For clean swirls: Avoid over-stirring once you’ve created the marble effect — too much mixing will blend the batters completely.
-
Storage: Wrap the loaf tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen (without the glaze) for up to 3 months.
✨ Presentation Tips
For a café-worthy presentation, slice the loaf thickly and serve on a wooden board or marble platter. Drizzle a little extra caramel over each slice just before serving, and garnish with a banana slice, chopped pecans, or chocolate shavings for added texture and beauty.
