Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, brown the butter. Do this by melting the butter, then letting it foam and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until flecks of brown form at the bottom of the pan. Transfer it to a bowl and whisk to let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the sugar and butter together for a minute or so. Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla. Whisk vigorously into a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Add the bananas directly into the bowl. Use a fork to mash them into small pieces, but you don't need the bananas completely smooth. Switch to your whisk and whisk together.

Step 5

Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine into a nice, thick batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to a parchment-lined loaf tin and bake at 375°F for 50-55 minutes.
