Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9×11 loaf pan with parchment paper – set aside.
• Begin first by browning the butter. Add the stick of butter to a stovetop pot and heat over low – medium heat until melted and butter begins to bubble. Stir lightly until the butter becomes light brown in color. At this point, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
• While the butter is cooling, add your bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash until smooth. Then, add both eggs to the same bowl and whisk.
• Next, add brown sugar and maple syrup to the eggs and banana, and mix again.
• Once the brown butter has cooled, add it to the bowl with the bananas, eggs and sugar and whisk everything together once more. *It’s important to let the brown butter cool completely before adding it to the eggs.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda & baking powder.
• Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and fold everything together until fully combined. Folding ingredients together here rather than mixing vigorously will keep the banana bread a nice light texture. 🙂
• Finally, add your chocolate chips and fold in.
• Pour the banana bread batter into your parchment lined loaf pan and bake for 43 – 45 minutes.
• Once done baking, and a toothpick comes out clean (besides some melted chocolate), let your banana bread cool. Then, slice and enjoy!
