KAT'S BROWN BUTTER BANANA BREAD

 

My grandchildren love bananas! However sometimes I over-estimate how many are needed for the week. This is a terrific recipe to use your over-ripe bananas. The nuttiness of the brown butter brings this banana bread to the next level. This recipe makes one beautiful loaf or can be made into 12 muffins. 

If pecans aren't your nut feel free to exchange it for walnuts. If you are a fan of chocolates you can add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to bring a sweet treat to each bite. This is such an easy recipe you've gotta try it and tell me what you think!

Gather your ingredients.

In a large bowl sift flour, baking soda, salt.

 

Brown butter and let it cool.

 

Mash 2 bananas with fork set aside.

 

With an electric mixer with paddle, mix the 
remaining bananas and sugar for 3 minutes.

 

Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla –
beat well and scrape down sides.

 

Add dry ingredients just until incorporated.

 

Fold in nuts and fork mashed bananas.

 

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

 

 

Enjoy with a pat of butter!
