Caramel Rum Banana Bread

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons rum
• 1 egg
• 1 cup very ripe mashed banana
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 3/4 cup chopped caramel (a caramel block or soft caramel candies)

1. Preheat your oven to 350u0b0F. Grease and flour two 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pans.
2. While the oven preheats, spread the chopped nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until they smell nutty and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the milk, oil, rum, egg, and mashed banana and stir well.
5. Stir in the toasted nuts and chopped caramel.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Remove from oven, run a knife around the edges to loosen, and let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before turning the loaves out onto a wire rack.
