Description
A delightful banana bread recipe that is moist and rich, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 120 g of butter
- 3 ripe bananas (medium to large)
- 60 g of sugar
- 90 g of brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder
- 180 g of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 100 g of walnuts or pecans
- 150 g of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by preparing brown butter; melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir it regularly until it turns a beautiful brown color and exudes a nutty aroma. Be cautious, as it can burn quickly. Once it reaches the desired color, remove it from heat and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Then add the eggs, both types of sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Mix everything vigorously to incorporate all ingredients.
- Next, add the cooled brown butter and mix it in, followed by the flour. Be gentle when combining; over-mixing can lead to a denser loaf. Aim for a homogeneous mixture without overworking it.
- Finally, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour the batter into a high loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes. You can test if it’s done by inserting a wooden skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Notes
For best results, use overripe bananas and monitor the butter carefully while browning.
