    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp cinnamon
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
    • ¾ cup brown sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

    For the Caramel Glaze:

    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • 3 tbsp butter
    • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract

    For Topping:

    1. Sliced bananas
    2. Whole almonds or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking dish.
    • In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
    • In another bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, mashed bananas, and milk.
    • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Fold in chopped nuts.

  2. Bake the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Let the cake cool slightly while making the caramel glaze.

  3. Make the Caramel Glaze:

    • In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.
    • Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

  4. Assemble & Serve:

    • Pour the warm caramel glaze over the slightly cooled cake.
    • Garnish with banana slices and whole almonds or walnuts.
    • Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, you can use plant-based milk and reduce the sugar slightly.
  • If you prefer a different nut, feel free to substitute with pecans or cashews for variety.
  • You can make this recipe ahead of time and reheat for a quick and easy breakfast.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle additional caramel glaze on top after serving.
