Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 stick unsalted butter

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8.5-by-4.5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a light-colored sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until golden brown and nutty.
  3. In one bowl, mix mashed bananas with eggs until combined. In another bowl, whisk together flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  4. Gently fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients, then stir in the melted brown butter until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, placing halved bananas cut-side up on top and sprinkling additional dark brown sugar over them.
  6. Bake for about 70 to 80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling before slicing.
