Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (divided)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter with brown sugar until bubbly. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Slice the ripe bananas into thick rounds and arrange them neatly on top of the caramel layer in your baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the remaining 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients until fully combined—do not overmix.
- Pour the batter over the arranged bananas in your baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before flipping onto a serving plate.
