- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with the wooden spoon. Spread the dulce de leche on top and pour the rest of the batter on top of the dulce de leche.

Many of us have a favorite dessert flavor. For most people, it's chocolate, for others, it' s citrus, for some it's vanilla or mint. But whatever it is, it' s the flavor that you just can't resist whenever you see it on a menu or in a store. For me, that flavor is arequipe or dulce de leche.
I love arequipe... maybe the word love it's not strong enough, I' m actually a bit obsessed with it. On this site I' ve posted about 27 recipes made with arequipe. I know, I know., it' s getting a little out of control, but that' s what happens when you have a favorite dessert flavor, and there' s no end to the recipes I can make with it. So, to add to my long list of dulce de leche desserts, today I have a Banana and Dulce de Leche Bread to share that is very simple to make and absolutely delicious.
Buen provecho!

I have this in the oven now and it smells amazing. I had to.microwave the dulce de leche to make it spreadable. Also my bread has been in the oven probably 30 mins longer than the recipe called for and its still not done. Im ready to eat it!
