Olive Oil Banana Bread

Sometimes – especially when I’m not eating sugar – I can’t help but thinking up new ways to make sweet things. My kids loved this Olive Oil Banana Bread, especially with all the yummy toppings. Caramel and bananas go so well together. You can make a caramel if you’d like (head white sugar in a pan until it turns into a liquid, then add cream), or you can buy a nice jarred kind, like this one from Stonewall Kitchen. Just drizzle it on top! I like the white icing too because it keeps the banana bread from drying out.

Lots of things would make good toppings – chocolate, toffee, coconut, walnuts – whatever you have on hand! I hope you and your family love this Olive Oil Banana Bread.
