Butterfinger Banana Bread

Teresa Ambra

Butterfinger Banana Bread is one of the richest, most decadent, sweet breads ever! I started with my favorite Banana Bread recipe, but instead of using chocolate chips in the batter, I tossed in chopped Butterfinger Candy Bar crumbs. Then I added a rich, chocolate icing and topped the icing with more chopped Butterfingers. Yum-o!

If you follow my blog at all you know I had a LOT of leftover Butterfinger Candy Bars after Christmas Cookie baking. I’ve been trying to think up all sorts of ways to use up all that extra candy. I’ve made Butterfinger Donuts, Butterfinger Scones, Butterfinger Muffins along with the two cookies I baked: Butterfinger Meltaways and Butterfinger Gooey Gooey Bars. In every case, the Butterfinger goodies were outstanding.

Several of our neighbors got a miniature bread loaf of this Butterfinger Banana Bread. One of the gals had just gotten out of the hospital and was thrilled with these sweet treats. She referred to it as “cake” and it surely is as sweet as one!

I make only one recommendation when making this sweet bread: Use FOUR miniature bread loaf pans and fill them only about three-quarters full. This recipe expands A LOT while baking so you need the extra space at the top because it will rise that much. Once baking, start checking the bread with a bamboo skewer after about 45 minutes of baking time. It may take the full hour in some ovens, but this bread may be ready in 45 for hotter ovens.

Butterfinger Banana Bread is a scrumptious sweet bread to serve for any weekend or company breakfast or brunch. Add it to your menu with plenty of protein and everyone will rave over this delicious treat. Or for that matter, this is a great snacking bread any time, day or night! 🙂

Equipment

  • 4 miniature bread loaf pans
  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 2 wire cooling racks
  • 1 sharp knife to chop Butterfingers
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 bamboo skewer or knife to check bread for doneness
  • 1 bread board or cutting board

Ingredients
  

BANANA BREAD:

  • 1/2 cup salted butter softened (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed on a plate with a fork (or 5 small bananas)
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Butterfinger Candy Bars chopped

CHOCOLATE ICING:

  • 2/3 cup half-and-half or slightly less
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Butterfinger Candy Bars chopped

Instructions
 

BANANA BREAD:

  • Mash bananas on a plate with a fork; set aside.
  • Soften butter and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add granulated sugar, eggs, bananas, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Stir in the flour and chopped Butterfingers.
  • Spoon mixture evenly into four well-greased and floured miniature bread loaf pans.
  • Make sure pans are not more than three-fourths full.
  • Smooth tops with a knife.
  • Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • To check for doneness, insert a knife or bamboo skewer into the bottom of the pan.
  • When knife comes out clean, bread is completely baked.
  • Allow bread to cool in pans on wire racks about 30-45 minutes.
  • Invert bread loaves onto wire cooling racks and cool completely.
  • Add Butterfinger icing and sprinkle each loaf with additional chopped Butterfingers.
  • When icing dries, cut bread down into slices: 6 slices per miniature loaf.
  • Yield: 24 slices.

CHOCOLATE ICING:

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk half-and-half, powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Icing will be very thick. 
  • Place miniature bread loaves onto wire cooling racks.
  • Spoon or pour icing over top of bread loaves.
  • Immediately sprinkle each loaf with chopped Butterfingers before icing the next loaf.
  • Let glaze set for 5-10 minutes before slicing bread down into serving pieces and serving.

Notes

NOTE: Start checking for doneness after bread bakes 45 minutes. Your oven may cook faster, but mine took an hour. (It depends on how full the bread loaf pans are).
 
NOTE: 8 fun-size Butterfinger Candy Bars = approximately one cup chopped Butterfingers.
 
NOTE: Fill four sized miniature bread loaf pans about three-fourths full. This recipe expands A LOT while baking. Three pans filled almost to the top will almost certainly overflow.
