Brown Butter Banana Bread
The brown butter makes this bread taste like bananas foster! Be sure to use super ripe bananas.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter browned
- ½ cup light brown sugar loosely packed
- ½ cup canned light coconut milk
- 4 very ripe bananas mashed (about 1 ¼ cups)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ⅔ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- To brown the butter, place in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, continuously whisk it until little brown bits appear on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir for about 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 325°.
- Spray a 5" x 9" loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter and brown sugar.
- Once it is combined, stir in the coconut milk, bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix them with a large spoon until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake the bread for 60 minutes, rotating the pan once during the cooking time. Check doneness with a wooden pick inserted into the center. It should come out clean or have a few crumbs on it.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let cool in the loaf pan for 20 minutes. Gently remove the bread and place on a cutting board to cool completely before cutting.
