Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add flour and salt; stir until just combined. Fold in the mashed bananas.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While cooling, prepare the frosting by beating room temperature butter with an electric mixer. Gradually add sifted confectioners' sugar and salt; mix in caramel topping and adjust consistency with milk as needed.
Once cooled, frost the bars and cut into squares to serve.
