Ingredients
- 1/3 cup salted butter
- 3 bananas, ripe and peeled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup California walnuts, roughly chopped
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Coat an 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in small pan over medium heat. Cook and swirl the pan in circular motion for 5 minutes or until butter begins to foam and color changes to a golden brown. Once the butter has browned, remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add browned butter, sugar, beaten egg and vanilla extract and beat on low speed until just combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add chopped walnuts and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If bread is browning too quickly, tent pan with aluminum foil.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let cool in the loaf pan for 5 minutes. Run spatula along the sides of the pan before transferring the bread to a wire rack to cool for another 20 minutes.
- When bread has cooled almost completely, slice and serve.
