Caramelized Banana Berry Bread image

This is without a doubt the most delicious banana bread I have ever made. So moist and the berries add the perfect complement to the rich banana flavor. The batter is thick but don't worry about dryness, it is so tasty!

  • In a mixing bowl beat butter and sugar till light and fully incorporated. Add ricotta cheese and mix till smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each one. Add caramelized bananas and vanilla.
  • Pour wet mixture over dry mix and fold together just until mixed.
  • Spoon mix into prepared pans. Sprinkle each pan with brown sugar. Bake for 50-60 minutes until knife into the center comes out clean.
