This Brown Butter Banana Bread is filled with ripe bananas, granulated and brown sugars, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. The butter is browned for added depth of flavor, making it a delicious treat!
1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2: Place 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns a deep golden brown.
3: Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
5: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
6: Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
7: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts and additional chocolate chips on top.
8: Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
