Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe large bananas overripe bananas are preferred
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 stick of salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Second, take 1 stick of salted butter, place into a pot, and put on the stove over medium-high heat.
  • Third, whisk the butter until it starts to foam on top and begins to turn brown. When it starts to brown, remove from the heat.
  • Pour the brown melted butter into a separate bowl and put in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.
  • Next, peel your brown bananas and place them into a large bowl.
  • Then, take a fork and mash your bananas until there are no more large chunks or pieces of banana.
  • Add the 3 eggs, vanilla extract, white and brown sugar, and salt to the mashed bananas and mix well.
  • Spread a little bit of butter (or cooking spray) on the inside of the loaf pan so that the parchment paper sticks to the sides and holds well.
  • Then, cover the inside of your loaf pan with two sheets of parchment paper. (I also used my scissors to cut off the parchment paper overhang)
  • Now, add the cooled brown butter to the mashed banana mixture. I like to add it slowly because the butter might still be warm. You don't want to have scrambled eggs, so I like to temper it. That just means that I pour the brown butter in slowly and whisk constantly to bring the temperature down and not expose the eggs to high heat immediately.
  • Next, add the 2 cups self-rising flour to the mashed banana mixture and mix just until it comes together. (You don't want to overmix it.)
  • Then, pour your brown butter banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, place in the preheated oven, and bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown.
  • After the banana bread comes out of the oven, place it onto a wire rack to cool before slicing.
  • Finally, slice the banana bread and serve with softened butter!
