Brown Butter Banana Bread: The Best Homemade Delight You’ll Love
This Brown Butter Banana Bread is the most moist, tender, and delicious banana bread you'll love, made with brown butter and ripe bananas.
Equipment
- large whisk
- large bowl
- 9"x5" loaf tin
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter 113 grams
- ¾ cup granulated sugar 165 grams
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 large very ripe bananas the more brown the better, 350 grams
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 210 grams
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt use half if using Morton's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small saucepan, brown the butter. Do this by melting the butter, then letting it foam and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until flecks of brown form at the bottom of the pan. Transfer it to a bowl and whisk to let it cool slightly.
- Whisk the sugar and butter together for a minute or so. Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla. Whisk vigorously into a smooth mixture.
- Add the bananas directly into the bowl. Use a fork to mash them into small pieces, but you don't need the bananas completely smooth. Switch to your whisk and whisk together.
- Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine into a nice, thick batter.
- Transfer the batter to a parchment-lined loaf tin and bake at 375°F for 50-55 minutes.
Notes
You can add cinnamon or any baking spices you like to this bread. I like to add about ½ teaspoon of any addition I feel like using. Nutmeg, all spice, and clove are also wonderful additions!
