Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed

- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the mashed bananas. Stir in the baking soda and salt.
- Add Sugar and Egg: Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Incorporate Flour: Add the flour to the mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Prepare Caramel: In a small bowl, combine the caramel sauce with chopped nuts if using.

- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce before slicing and serving.
