Butterscotch and bananas are such a lovely combination in this decadent butterscotch banana bread. This banana bread stays extra moist by using a packet of instant pudding and a bundt cake pan (although there’s a loaf pan option too)!

This butterscotch banana bread really is the ultimate butterscotch banana bread recipe. It calls for both butterscotch pudding mix and butterscotch chips to ensure that there’s a ton of delicious butterscotch flavor.

🍌 Ingredients needed

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

• Bananas: You’ll need three ripe bananas for this recipe. You can also use frozen bananas, if that’s what you have on hand. The more ripe your bananas are the sweeter your banana bread will be.
• Instant butterscotch pudding mix: You’ll want to make sure that you get instant pudding mix. If you can’t find butterscotch, French vanilla is also very good in this banana bread.
• Eggs: You’ll need three large eggs for this recipe.
• Canola oil: You can also substitute safflower oil.
• All purpose flour: The base of our banana bread.
• White sugar and brown sugar: To sweeten our banana bread.
• Baking soda and baking powder: To make our bread rise.
• Vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract is best for baking.
• Milk: Regular milk or almond milk both work.
• Salt
• Butterscotch chips: The butterscotch chips really take this banana bread to the next level of delicious!

🥣 What type of pan do I need for this recipe?

For this recipe, you’ll either need two loaf pans (8 x 4 inch) or one bundt cake pan. I love making banana bread in a bundt cake pan because not only does it make for one beautiful loaf of banana bread but it also helps the bread stay moist.

⏲️ How to make this recipe (step by step guide)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt cake pan (or two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans) and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl add your bananas and mash them with your hand or stand mixer (image 1).

Combine the remaining ingredients except for the butterscotch chips. Mix until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth (image 2).

Stir in the butterscotch chips with a large wooden spoon or spatula (image 3).

Pour mix into the greased bundt cake pan (image 4) and bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.

👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe Tips

• You can use two loaf pans but by using a bundt pan your banana bread will come out extra moist.
• If you can’t find butterscotch pudding mix, you can use French vanilla. Be sure to use the instant type and not the cook and serve type.
