Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Sifted for a lighter texture
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter Browned for added flavor
  • 1 cup ripe bananas Mashed, about 3 medium bananas
  • 1 cup brown sugar Packed for sweetness
  • 1 large egg Room temperature for best results
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Pure vanilla for flavor
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda To help it rise
  • 0.5 tsp salt To enhance all the flavors

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often until it has a nutty aroma and is golden brown. Let it cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas and then mix in the cooled brown butter. Stir in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This banana bread is best enjoyed fresh, but can be wrapped tightly and stored for a few days at room temperature.
