Nate loves to bring my baking up to work. I think he secretly likes all the attention it gets him. People come out of the woodwork when they hear about baked goodies. He works in finance, and during tax season, it gets busy. This can be a good thing with lots of overtime, but it also wears them all down. These are the times when he likes to bring my treats often.
Usually when he asks for a treat for work he gives me a few days notice and has a specific request. Not this time. Â He was having to go into work on a Saturday, when the cafeteria was closed. Â So, he just wanted me to make “something” and sprung it on me at 10 o’clock Friday night. Â
Woohoo for me! Believe it or not, I was cupcaked out. Â I had been making them for a few weeks straight and was ready for something else.
While I was looking at recipes for banana bread, I saw several for salted caramel banana bread — which sounded absolutely delicious. So, I decided to make pumpkin bread with salted caramel sauce swirled in it.
I had enough ingredients and 4 little loaf pans, so I made a double batch. My kids love pumpkin bread just as much as Nate does. It was delicious! I loved the swirls of salted caramel sauce. I think the kids did, too, because they inhaled it the next day.
Enjoy!!
