Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter 113 g, melted and cooled
  • 3 ripe large bananas 225 g, mashed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts 100 g
  • 2/3 cup soft and chewy caramel toffees & milk chocolate chunks 125 g
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 260 g
  • ½ cup light brown sugar 105 g
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup yogurt 80 g
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method
 

Prepare the Pan
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together:
  2. flour
  3. brown sugar
  4. baking powder
  5. baking soda
  6. salt
  7. Add most of the chopped walnuts and caramel pieces, reserving some for the topping.
  8. Toss them in the flour mixture so they are evenly coated.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients
  1. In another bowl:
  2. Whisk the eggs until lightly beaten.
  3. Add:
  4. mashed bananas
  5. yogurt
  6. vanilla extract
  7. melted butter
  8. Whisk until combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  1. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the banana mixture.
  2. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix until everything is just combined.
  3. Do not overmix.
  4. The batter will be thick and slightly chunky.
Fill the Pan
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts, caramel pieces and chocolate chunks on top.
Bake
  1. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. The caramel will melt slightly and create a golden topping.
Cool
  1. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the bread to cool for about 15 minutes.
  2. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the caramel from the sides.
  3. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely before slicing.
