At a first glance, it may look a bit strange to add dulce de leche to simple banana bread. However, you know how sweet and caramel alike is this milk jam and it really works with crepes, pancakes, waffles, brownies ( link ),turtle cookies ( link ) or simple cookies. It works the sam way with sweet bread recipes!
Chocolate Chip Dulce de Leche Cookies
To make more decadent version, you may add some chocolate chips into the batter and there you have an excellent bread easily served as dessert.
What exactly is dulce de leche?
Dulce de leche, which literally means “candy made from milk,” is a thick and sugary caramel-like sauce that’s made by slowly heating sweet milk.
You can make a batch on your own by boiling condensed milk, as I did when posted Dulce de Leche Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
There is another option to get your dose of dulce: you place your can of Nestle Sweetened Condensed Milk (395 grams) into a deep pot. I used an old fashioned spaghetti tall pot so it makes it easier to cover the can with 3 inches of water above the top. You bring water to boil, reduce to simmer for 2 hours and 40 minutes. That is, at least, what I’ve done. Take the can out and leave to cool completely before opening. I simply left it at room temperature overnight. By doing so, you can do any dessert you prefer.
Here are some of the best recipes you can find!
Also, there is the most comfortable version, I guess you would say „time saver“ one, and it is a jar of ready to use dulce.
Before you start reading quick bread recipe details, let me add one more thing:
What is coconut flower sugar?
Coconut flower sugar is a great substitute for white sugar because it has low glycemic index ( 35 ) and its taste is lightly caramelized. It is obtained from carefully selected organically grown coconuts. It matches nicely with dulce de leche!
So, let the baking begin!
