Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Ingredients

• • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
• • 9 tbsp unsalted butter - melted and cooled to ½ cup
• • ¾ cup brown sugar
• • ¼ cup granulated sugar
• • 1 large egg, room temperature
• • 1 tsp vanilla extract
• • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• • 1 tsp baking soda
• • ½ tsp baking powder
• • ½ tsp salt
• • 1 tsp cinnamon
• • 1 to 1 ½ cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. I also put a piece of parchment paper across the middle to help pull it out of the pan after baking.
2. Step 2. Brown butter in a small pan until it turns golden and has a nutty; cool slightly in freezer for 5-10 minutes. You want it warm, not hot, when mixing with the other ingredients!
3. Step 3. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth.
4. Step 4. Pour in brown butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until incorporated and glossy.
5. Step 5. Fold in flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined.
6. Step 6. Mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Save the rest for topping.
7. Step 7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
8. Step 8. Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean with moist crumbs (not wet batter). You can loosely cover with foil halfway through baking if it’s starting to look overly brown.
9. Step 9. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then turn out, slice, and enjoy! 🌞
