Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or oil.

In a large bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the 1/2 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, and 2 eggs; mix well.

Stir in the 1.5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda until just combined—do not overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Drizzle with caramel glaze if desired.
