You know what I love? Banana bread. You know what I don’t love? Taking pictures of banana bread.

Doesn’t it look like I’ve just sliced a brick in to pieces? Sigh.

Despite the less-than-attractive photos, this banana bread recipe is one of the best I’ve found. With the addition of sour cream, caramel syrup, and toffee pieces, this banana bread is more like a caramel cake than a banana bread. So dense, so moist, and so delicious. Unfortunately, because of its incredibly moist interior and crunchy  caramelized outside crust, the bread doesn’t translate well in photos:

 

 
But believe me when I say that this is one of the best banana bread recipes I’ve found. The flavors blend perfectly together, and the ingredients are carefully combine to create the softest, moistest banana bread ever. I often find loaves have a tendency to turn out too dry, but not this recipe. Nope. So despite the crappy photos, promise to believe me when I say: make this banana bread. It’s one of the best banana recipes I’ve found. Seriously.
