Browned Butter Banana Bread

This is actually the 'homework' for ABC May 2015 which I did a few months back
Yeah, my blog consists lots of late posts LOL

This is another great recipe of many banana cake recipe I have tried. The browned butter really gives a wonderful aroma and somehow enhances the taste too. Soft and delicious! Yum!

 

 

Recipe is from Scientifically Sweet

 

What you need:

 

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup mashed banana (I used about 2 large bananas)

1 large egg, room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

235g plain flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

3/4 cup chocolate chips (I omitted, I was didn't feel like eating something chocolaty)

 

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 165degC. Grease and line a 20x10cm loaf pan
2. Brown butter by cooking it over medium low heat. Stir frequently until it's fragrant and golden brown with little brown bits. Pour into a clean bowl and set aside to cool
3. In a medium bowl, add in mashed banana followed by the cooled browned butter, egg, sugar and lemon juice. Whisk until blended
4. Sift in plain flour, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Fold gently into the banana mixture until just combined (do not overmix). If you're using chocolate chips, add in the last
5. Pour batter into the pan and bake until the skewer test comes out clean, about 45minutes
6. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely and slice
