Browned Butter Banana Bread

Let’s start by gathering all the ingredients you’ll need for this mouthwatering treat:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Browned Butter Banana Bread

Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. To make the browned butter, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Let it cook until it begins to brown, swirling the pan occasionally. Once it’s a golden color and you can smell the nutty aroma, remove it from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter and brown sugar, mixing well until it’s smooth.
  4. Add in the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly okay!
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Once it’s done, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Vanilla Butter

While your banana bread is cooling, let’s whip together some vanilla butter to make this treat even more enjoyable. For this, you’ll need:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Simply mix the softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until creamy and well combined. Spread this delightful vanilla butter on warm slices of your banana bread, and prepare yourself for a heavenly experience!
