Ingredients
  

Banana Bread Batter
  • 1/2 cup butter browned
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Loaf Pan
  • Oven
  • Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty. Cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare loaf pan.
  3. Mix mashed bananas, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and browned butter until smooth.
  4. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt gently to keep batter soft.
  5. Pour into pan and bake until set and golden. Cool before slicing.

Notes

For softer bread, avoid overmixing batter. For slightly crisp edges, bake a bit longer. Cool completely before slicing. Add nuts or chocolate for variation. Store wrapped at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
