This Butterscotch Banana Bread is one of the most delicious banana breads. It’s loaded with butterscotch morsels and the flavor of butterscotch really complements the banana flavor well. It’s pretty much a match made in heaven!
This recipe is great for using up super ripe bananas. You’ll need 3 for one loaf of this bread.
How To Serve
Butterscotch Banana Bread is sweet enough to serve for dessert but also makes a great snack for breakfast. Plus it goes perfectly with a cup of coffee. You’ll pretty much want to eat it all day long.
This bread is so moist and delicious with lots of butterscotch flavor. I can’t wait for you to try it and tell me what you think. It seriously rivals this Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread for my favorite banana bread of all time.
How Ripe Should The Bananas Be?
You want the bananas to be very ripe. They add both sweetness and moisture to the bread and very ripe bananas have more of both. The bananas should have a lot of black spots on them.
Use the Toothpick Test
Often, banana bread looks done but is still gooey in the middle. To tell if it is done, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes our clean or with only a few crumbs attached, it is done. If it comes out wet, the bread needs to cook longer.
Storage
It’s moist enough to keep for 3 days or so wrapped well. I think it tastes better though if you cut a slice and warm it in the microwave for a few seconds. Banana Bread also freezes well. Wrap it well in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Love this recipe! Third time making & always comes out delicious! I sub butter for oil & use slightly more cinnamon & a little less butterscotch & it’s sooooo yummy!
I just made this. I have made banana bread in the past but never added butterscotch. I had extra butterscotch morsels left over and 3 bananas that were overly ripe and was looking to see if there was a recipe such as this. It turned out perfect. Moist, delicious. The butterscotch definitely compliments the banana. I almost wanted a side of vanilla ice cream. Thank you for sharing 😊
I’ve made lots of banana bread recipes but this is my all time favorite and now the one I go to every time. Thanks!
So do I put my sprayed loaf pan in the oven while it’s preheating thanks in advance
No. Prep it first then when you have your batter in it, put it in the oven 😊
I used this recipe to make large muffins. Didn’t change anything in the recipe, just put it into the large muffin tins instead of a loaf pan. It made six large muffins. I sprinkled turbinado sugar and a bit of cinnamon on top, then baked them at 500° for five minutes. I then (without opening the oven) turned the temp down to 350° and baked them another 30 minutes. They rose beautifully and taste delicious!
Love this! We made a simple butterscotch ganache using chips and cream, and poured over the top. New family favorite!
That ganache sounds amazing!
Very moist. Excellent flavor. Made to recipe except added more cinnamon and nutmeg. Will definitely be my new banana bread recipe.
More spice is always good! 🙂
Just made this and it turned out amazing! The only changes I made were using butter instead of oil, and adding only 1/2 a cup of butterscotch chips. This one is definitely being added to our family recipe book! Thank you!!
Enjoying this right now with butter spread on top. Delicious!
