Notes
- Microwave power and size varies, so you may have to alter the cooking times. Keep an eye on the caramel especially to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Instead of walnuts, use chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, pecans, or just make a plain banana bread if you prefer.
- You can eat this banana bread right out of the mug, but I like to turn mine onto a separate dish and top with dulce de leche for a fun presentation.
