Method
 

How to Make Dulce de Leche Banana Bread
  1. Prepare Dulce de Leche: If you're making it homemade, open a can of condensed milk and heat it in a pot over low heat for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until it's beautifully caramelized.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bread loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas, then add melted butter, sour cream, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and dulce de leche. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Incorporate Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  6. Add Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes.
  8. Cool: Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
