Ingredients
Banana Bread
- 4 overripe bananas
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 1/2 cup of granulated suga
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Brown Butter Glaze
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons of milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl mash the bananas, then add the butter and sugar and beat until well combined. Next mix in the egg and vanilla. Once those are mixed in add the flour, baking soda, and salt and stir until just combined. Put the bread in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then remove the bread from the pan and let it finish cooling on a wire rack.
While the banana bread is cooling you can get started on the brown butter glaze. Add the butter to a saucepan and cook over medium heat string frequently until it starts to foam. Once the butter has foamed stop staring and let it continue to cook until it turns an amber brown color. Remove the butter from the heat, sift in powdered sugar, add the milk and stir. Use enough milk so that the butter and sugar mixture comes to the perfect glaze consistency. Finally drizzle the brown butter glaze over the banana bread. If you can resist eating it yourself, this banana bread makes a wonderful gift.
Enjoy!
