1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Flaky sea salt for topping (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 large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add Caramel: Gently fold in the salted caramel sauce and nuts if using, being careful not to overmix.
Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle additional salted caramel sauce on top and swirl it lightly with a knife.
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 banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with more salted caramel and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before slicing.
