Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ½ cup of packed light brown sugar, ⅓ cup of canola oil, and 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add ¼ cup of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of instant espresso granules, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisking until blended.
  4. Gently mix in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and drizzle ¼ cup of thick caramel sauce on top.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. While the bread is baking, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir in 6 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar.
