Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together sugars, eggs, oil, milk, bourbon, maple extract, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in chopped toffee bits evenly into the batter.
  7. Grease two loaf pans and divide the batter, filling each only up to about an inch from the top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes for mini pans or 55-60 minutes for standard loaves. Check for doneness.
  9. Let the bread cool in pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
