Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together one large egg, half a cup of packed light brown sugar, one-third cup of canola oil, two teaspoons of granulated sugar, and a quarter cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add in one tablespoon of instant espresso granules and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually sift in one cup of all-purpose flour, half a teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda, and a quarter teaspoon of salt to your wet mixture.
  4. Fold in one cup of mashed ripe bananas until evenly incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and drizzle a quarter cup of caramel sauce over the top. Swirl the caramel through the batter using a knife.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. For optional glaze, whisk one cup of powdered sugar with two to three tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
