4. Mix Together:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the mashed bananas and white chocolate chips or chunks gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
5. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Make the Caramel Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar melts and turns a light amber color (be careful not to burn it).
- Remove the melted sugar from heat and slowly add the sour cream, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up.
7. Serve:
- Allow the banana bread pudding to cool slightly before slicing.
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over each serving.
