Cabin-Fever Caramel Banana Bars

I haven't spent much time in the kitchen recently, but a birthday this month led me to baking the banana bars from Dorie's Cookies.

This is a great recipe to use up one ripe banana.  It's like a banana bread, made special with the addition of cardamon and peanuts.

Although we enjoyed the peanuts, I think it would be even better made with walnuts.
