Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix the white sugar and dark brown sugar until no lumps remain. Add in the eggs, vegetable oil, whole milk, bourbon, maple extract, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Stir in the mashed overripe bananas until fully incorporated into the wet mixture.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  6. Fold in the chopped toffee, allowing it to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Coat your loaf pans with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, filling them to about an inch from the top. Bake mini loaves for 40-45 minutes and standard loaves for 55-60 minutes.
  9. Once baked, allow the loaves to cool in their pans for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
