This Brown Butter Banana Bread is so easy to make, and gives the bread such a rich taste. Put those bananas to use, and give this recipe a try. You will not be disappointed.
I have seen so many recipes lately that have browned butter in them, but have yet to try it. I finally decided to give it a whirl and knew I couldn’t go wrong with banana bread.
The brown butter gives the bread such a rich taste. I don’t know how else to explain it, so you’ll just have to try it for yourself.
It came together quickly and was not difficult at all. I also felt that the bread was a little more moist and full of flavor than any other banana bread recipe I have tried.
This is my new go to banana bread recipe from here on out.
could i make these in a muffin tin?
For this recipe, we used a loaf ban, to create the bread. However, you could easily make this using a muffin tin, or even a mini muffin tin.
We recommend using cupcake liners, or spraying each individual muffin compartment with non-stick cooking spray, to help the muffins come out easier.
If you don’t spray the pan or use a cupcake liner, you may have some difficulty getting the muffins out. For best results spray the pan, or line with cupcake liner.
does this bread freeze well?
This bread does freeze extremely well. We recommend placing slices or muffins in an individual snack bag, and removing them from the fridge when needed.
You could also freeze them in an airtight container.
We recommend thawing them by placing them out for a few hours on the counter, or in the fridge over night or even 24 hours, depending on how much bread you thawed.
These work great for breakfast on the go, or dessert in my kids home lunches.

Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 1 hour hr 10 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr 20 minutes mins
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 5 ripe bananas mashed

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8-inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.
In a medium saucepan over high heat, melt the butter.

Continue swirling the butter for a few minutes over the heat until it starts to turn brown in color. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs then add mashed bananas, vanilla and cooled butter.
Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Sounds great, do you put the brown sugar in with the other dry ingredients?
-
Cyd says:
The brown sugar is actually the sugar in the directions. We just forgot to put "brown" before the word sugar. It's the only type of sugar in this recipe. We fixed it so it won't confuse anyone else. Thanks for the heads up!

Mary says:
I made this as a loaf and it tasted great, but burned on top before being cooked in the middle. I am going to try and make it in muffin tins instead, Do you think that will work OK?

Cyd says:
Should work fine in muffin tins. Sorry we don't have the exact cooking time, just watch closely!
