Browned Butter Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan.
• Beat white sugar, sour cream, 1/2 cup softened butter, and eggs in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in bananas and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; mix for 1 minute. Stir walnuts into batter until evenly incorporated. Spread batter in prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 27 minutes. Cool.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until bubbling and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into melted butter until a smooth frosting consistency is reached. Spread frosting over cooled banana bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Heat the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan until the milk solids are deep golden brown and the butter smells toasted, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
• Stir the brown butter so that any milk solids that have fallen to the bottom are distributed equally throughout the butter. Reserve 4 tablespoons of the brown butter for the glaze. Whisk together the remaining brown butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl, then fold in the mashed bananas.
• Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps). Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, and bake until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, and let cool completely in the pan on a rack.
• Once the bread has cooled, heat the reserved brown butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until melted, then whisk in the confectioners' sugar. Let the glaze sit at room temperature until it stiffens up a little but is still pourable, about 5 minutes. Pour and spread the brown butter over the bread. Let set. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Measure 1/3 cup of browned butter; reserve remaining browned butter for another use.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
• Mash bananas in a large bowl; stir in brown sugar, white sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup brown butter.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Fold flour mixture into banana mixture just until all ingredients are moistened; pour into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a loaf pan (9 X 5 inches) with cooking spray or butter.
• Place butter in a small skillet or sauce pan and melt it on medium-low heat. Swirl the pan around as the butter begins to foam. The foam will subsides and the butter will begin to brown. When it begins to smell nutty and the butter turns a shade of golden brown, remove from heat immediately. Don't let it burn; let cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon.
• Place slightly beaten eggs in a seperate bowl. Add the mashed bananas, yogurt (or milk), the cooled brown butter and vanilla and stir to mix well.
• Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined; do not over mix. Scrape batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top; bake preheated oven for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. (Depending on many factors, this may take longer, but not so long as to dry out cake.).
• Cool the loaf in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes then tip out on to the rack and let cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 inch loaf pan.
• In a medium saucepan over high melt the butter. Once it is melted lower the heat to medium and swirl the butter around the pan instead of stirring it. It will take about 5 minutes for it to brown. Occasionally swirl it. You will notice when it turns brown because it literally, turns brown. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool while getting everything else ready.
• In a large bowl sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In another bowl whisk the eggs then add the mashed bananas, vanilla and the semi-cooled butter.
• Add the liquid to the dry mixture. Mix just until incorporated, don't over mix. I only used maybe less then 15-20 stirs. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes, until it is browned on top and a fork inserted comes out clean. Cool for at least 15 minute sin the pan before cutting and serving.
• Cut loaf into 10 slices and serve, warm, with extra butter?!
