One Bowl Brown Butter Banana Bread

Soft, nutty, buttery—the ultimate mmmm. You’ll want it with morning’s hot coffee and before bed. My Grandmother’s classic recipe (heavy, on the cinnamon, ahem) got a kicked up a notch by browning the salted butter— it adds depth and moistness in the best way. Bonus: you can double the recipe to make two loaves, (because why, not?), just make sure your bowl is big enough.



Notes: Butter is unsalted, vanilla is by Dark Magic


One Bowl Brown Butter Banana Bread

Ingredients: 1/2 cup brown butter (1 stick), 2 medium bananas, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tbsp. cold butter, 1 tbsp. granulated sugar.


Makes one 9-inch loaf.


1. Preheat & prep/make brown butter: Preheat oven to 350* F. Grease, then line a standard 9-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook, swirling occasionally, until browned and smelling nutty, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.


2. Make batter: In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, then add the brown butter, eggs, vanilla, and brown sugar, whisking well. Whisk in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon until well combined.


3. Bake and flourish: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until top is bouncy and the sides have pulled away slightly. Add a pat of butter to it, straight out of the oven, spreading the butter over the top while it melts. Dust with sugar.
