Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together one large egg, light brown sugar, canola or vegetable oil, granulated sugar, sour cream, instant espresso granules, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl. Gently stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in the mashed ripe bananas until evenly incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top gently.
  6. Drizzle thick caramel sauce over the batter and gently swirl it with a knife.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
  9. For the glaze, melt unsalted butter in a saucepan and stir in brown sugar and vanilla extract. Simmer for a few minutes.
  10. Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
