When you are ready to start baking the bread and have ripe bananas, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Then get out a large mixing bowl and combine the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until it is well combined.

Now stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, baking powder and mix it together well.

Once the spices have fully mixed with the banana mixture, add the flour and mix it until it is just combined.

Then just pour in the butterscotch chips and mix it all together.

Questions & Reviews

Liz says:

Thank you for the nice recipe.

Laura @ Lauras Baking Talent says:

I bet this tastes great! What a good idea to mix butterscotch into banana bread :)

Eva says:

My kids have an unspoken house rule. NEVER eat the last 3 bananas. They know that if there are 3 browning bananas, I will always make banana bread! It is funny when one of them comes in to see only two bananas hanging on the holder. "Hey! Who ate a banana?" I will try the butterscotch chips in my next loaf. I usually use mini chocolate chips, but butterscotch chips sound delicious! Thanks!

sunshine says:

Thanks for sharing! Great time of year for banana bread.

Barb Cefus says:

I'm trying this with cinnamon chips instead!

Debbie says:

I made two loaves of this bread a few days ago and I am making more today. The butterscotch gives it a wonderful flavor! I did leave out the nutmeg as I don't care for the taste of it and this time I am going to flourthe butterscotch chips as they wanted to sink to the bottom of the bread. This is a winner!!

Jen ? says:

I made this one for Thanksgiving as well. Again another huge hit. I think my family knows I've hit the mother load of recipes at this site. Thanks!

Samantha Sullivan says:

I made this bread and everyone loved it! However, the butterscotch likes to sink to the bottom and makes the sides very dark. I see someone had the same problem and is going to try tossong them in flour. Do you think this will do the trick? I was thinking of chopping them up some so they wouldn't be. So big and hopefully not sink and burn. I hope you read and reply to your comments. This is the first time I'm post a comment. I've made several of your recipes and theyare all great!

Jennifer Romeyn says:

I chose this recipe for our bake swap day. I doubled the recipe and made 3- 8x3 loaves. I added more butterscotch as I just used 2 full bags for the double recipe. Amazing doesn't really describe this recipe. My husband, who doesn't like butterscotch, declared it the best banana bread he ever tasted. In fact, after the first double batch I made another 3 loaves (for family) and my husband doesn't want to give them out! For those that don't like butterscotch I still recommend it. The butterscotch gives it an incredible flavor, but not exactly a butterscotch taste. 5 stars. I couldn't be more impressed with this recipe and everyone loved it!

kristin says:

I love this recipe! I tried it for the first time recently and my family couldn't get enough of it! So delicious warm out of the oven. Thank you! It's a keeper!

Maggie Unzueta says:

I'm suddenly hungry, and I just ate. .. This looks so good. Maybe if I make this for breakfast and eat it all day long, I won't feel so guilty. I'm a woman with a plan. LOL!

Julie says:

This is delicious! I only had two bananas so I added a diced apple. Followed the directions otherwise. Yum!

Molly says:

This is so good! I picked up some mini loaf pans a few weeks ago, so I'm glad I found this! My new favorite banana bread for sure.

Cyd says:

Hi Molly. So good to hear that you liked the bread. I'm always delivering it to neighbors. It's so yummy. I love butterscotch, so I often add more. :)

Michelle says:

I made this recipe into regular size cupcakes and baked at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. They were delicious! My two granddaughters and I loved making them. When we make them again, I will cut back on the oil. The cupcake papers appeared a bit greasy.

Julie G. says:

My teen daughter’s favorite comfort food. The butterscotch chips raise this to a new level. My go-to banana bread recipe. Thanks Six Sisters!

Cathi says:

I made this the other night and found out it is really delicious !!! I made it again 2 days later. YUM !

Delaney Evol says:

I appreciated your question on the butterscotch chips sinking to the bottom I did not see any reply or perhaps missed it. If I may ask, did you try to use a little flour with the chips the next time you made the bread (if you attempted a second time. I would be grateful if you would consider sharing if the flour with the chips kept the chips from sinking. I shall thank you in advance. Delaney

Momma Cyd says:

We have not had a problem with the butterscotch chips sticking. Spray the pan well before baking.
