Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the mashed overripe bananas, buttermilk (or sour cream), and vanilla essence, stirring gently until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients.
  5. If using, fold in the shredded coconut and walnuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
  7. For the butterscotch syrup, combine brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until it boils.
  8. Remove the loaf from the oven and drizzle the syrup over while warm.
  9. Cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to slice.
