Brown Butter Banana Bread

Kankana Saxena
I bake banana bread more often than any other variety of cakes or muffins. And I always like trying out a different version. This particular Brown Butter Banana Bread is my current favorite, and I love the nutty flavor brown butter adds to this bread.

Ingredients
 

  • 3 Overripe Bananas
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup brown butter
  • 1 and ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • handful of walnut (if using)
  • oil to grease the pan
  • little flour to dust on the pan

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy bottom pan add the butter and cook it for 5 to 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Once the butter is brown, keep it aside to cool down.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas.
  • Crack the eggs and whisk to mix
  • Add the brown sugar and the cooled brown butter and mix again.
  • Place a sifter on the bowl and to that add the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Sift the dry ingredients and then, using a rubber spatula, fold it to the wet ingredient.
  • Roughly chop the walnut (if using) and fold it to the batter.
  • Prepare the loaf pan by spraying oil to grease the pan, and then dust a little flour all around.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F
  • Add the batter to the prepared pan and tap the pan a few times.
  • This step is optional - Wrap the sides of the pan with aluminum foil or baking strips. It helps to bake the bread evenly all round.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Check by poking a tooth pick in the center. If it comes out clean, it's done.
  • Allow the Banana Bread to cool down for 5 minutes, then release it from the pan.
  • Let the Banana bread cool down further, before you slice and enjoy.
