About a week before Christmas, I had lunch with my cousin. I met her at her gorgeous new home in Don Mills. I noticed she had several overly ripe bananas sitting on her counter so I asked what she planned to do with them. She said she already had 16 in her freezer so I suggested I would take three off her hands, and thus was born the following brown butter banana bread!
Brown Butter Banana Bread
A Kitcheninspirations original recipe
Makes 1 loaf about 21 cm x 11 cm (~8.25 inches x 4.5 inches)
Ingredients:
- 113 g butter, melted, browned and cooled
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, combined and whisked
- 330 g ripe bananas, mashed
- 280 g all purpose flour
- 7 g baking soda
- 3 g salt
- 2 g nutmeg
- Sliced almonds for sprinkling on top
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325° F on the convection setting. Prepare a small loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In the small bowl of your food processor, combine the melted, brown butter with the two sugars, process well.
- Combine the whisked eggs with the mashed bananas and add it to the sugar mixture while processing. Set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until no longer lumpy.
- Pour it into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the almonds. Bake for 70-80 minutes or until a wooden tester comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a towel on the counter.
Happy New Year Eva!
Everyone needs a good banana bread recipe. Looks like you found yours. I think the browned butter really elevates everyday banana bread. Love this! Keeping this recipe for my next batch of overripe bananas.

I never boarded the brown butter train until just this past Thanksgiving, when my niece made brown butter chocolate chip cookies. They were utterly fantastic. So I have a feeling I’d love this banana bread! What a great way to start out the new year!
