Description

This Toffee Pecan Crunch Banana Bread is a delightful twist on classic banana bread, combining ripe bananas, a buttery pecan cake mix, crunchy pecan pieces, and sweet Skor toffee bits. Moist, flavorful, and perfectly sweetened, this quick and easy bread makes a wonderful treat for breakfast, snack time, or dessert.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 very ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box butter pecan cake mix

Toppings

  • 1 cup pecan pieces
  • 1/2 cup Skor bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the banana bread.
  2. Mix Bananas and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the very ripe bananas and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of large lumps.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Add the butter pecan cake mix to the banana and egg mixture. Continue mixing just until the cake mix is fully incorporated. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.
  4. Prepare Loaf Pans: Spray two 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pans with a non-stick spray like Pam.
  5. Divide Batter: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle pecan pieces evenly over the batter in both pans, then sprinkle Skor bits evenly on top of the pecans to add a crunchy toffee layer.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 38 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaves; it should come out clean when done.
  8. Cool and Remove: Remove the pans from the oven and allow the banana breads to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the pans to avoid breaking.
  9. Serve: Slice the banana bread and enjoy the rich, toffee-pecan flavor in every bite!

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to keep your bread tender and light.
  • Check the bread 3-4 minutes before the baking time ends to prevent overbaking.
  • Allow bread to cool before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Skor bits can be substituted with other toffee bits or chocolate chips if desired.
