Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (brown butter)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter and sugar, mixing until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This banana bread freezes well; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
