Easy Brown Butter Banana Bread

April 22, 2019 by Grace 2 Comments

This brown butter banana bread is family friendly, super easy to make, and incredibly moist and delicious. This banana bread is a classic treat perfect for any time of the day.

Let’s admit it, you have probably had 50+ versions of banana bread at friends houses, parties, gatherings, family reunions, etc. I have too, but this banana bread is different from all of them because it starts with brown butter, (OOhhhh! Fancy!) yet it is still super easy to make! Brown butter adds a delicious, rich, nutty taste to this banana bread and elevates the flavor to be something a little bit better than your average chip-off-the-block banana bread.

Don’t think you have brown butter? You probably do, all you need is butter, a saucepan and a spatula. Really it is that easy!

How to Make Brown Butter

The idea of making brown butter sounds super hard for some people but the good news is… it’s not! Brown butter is only butter that has been heated over the stove until the milk particles brown slightly. That’s it!

Banana Basics

Using overripe bananas is crucial to awesome banana bread because overripe bananas have a more prominent flavor. Not only is banana bread a perfect way to use up those tired bananas sitting on your counter, but it is also a deliciously easy snack perfect for any type of day.

Some banana bread has a gummy texture from the use of too many bananas. If you think about it, it’s hard to imagine a banana bread with too many bananas, but many banana bread recipes fall victim to this very mistake.

The reason why there can be too many bananas in banana bread is that bananas contribute to the texture and body of banana bread. When there are too many bananas in the bread, there is not enough structure in the bread causing it to be gummy. The same would happen to a pumpkin bread with too much pumpkin. It’s not just bananas that can cause this to happen. Thankfully this banana bread has the perfect balance of bananas that contribute to the flavor without giving a gummy texture to the quick bread.
