Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread by Recipeincaption

Ingredients

• 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
• 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
• 100g (1/2 cup) light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 190g (1 1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 170g (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper, then set aside.
2. In a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber, smells nutty, and brown bits form at the bottom (about 5-7 minutes). Immediately pour the brown butter into a large mixing bowl to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
3. Add the mashed ripe bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cooled brown butter. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
