Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it becomes fragrant and turns a light golden color, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well to combine.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can drizzle the brown butter glaze on top, adding a rich finish to your banana bread. Slice, serve, and enjoy this irresistible treat with family and friends. Happy baking!
