Indulge in the rich, nutty flavor of banana bread with brown butter—a delightful treat that’s moist, fragrant, and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), browned
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the butter cools slightly, mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, mix together the browned butter (after it has cooled), sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—ensure not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool before slicing.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating nuts or chocolate chips.
- Substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for extra depth in sweetness.
- Store banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze slices individually for longer storage.
