Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a pullman or 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving the ends hanging over the sides for easy removal.
2
|
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3
|
Brown the butter: In a small saucepan, add 155g (11 tbsp) of unsalted butter and place over medium heat. As the butter melts, stir it with a rubber spatula to encourage even cooking. Once the butter has fully melted, it will alternate between rapid large bubbles and gentle small foamy bubbles. The butter will be ready once it turns a dark golden color and the fat solids have darkened and settled at the bottom of the pan. Immediately pour into a large bowl, scraping out the fat solids at the bottom, and weigh out to 113g (8 tbsp). Pour the remainder into a small bowl, and place in the fridge to solidify.
4
|
To the brown butter, whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Then, vigorously whisk in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
5
|
On a medium plate, mash the bananas, leaving them slightly chunky or smooth depending on texture preference. Whisk the mashed bananas into the batter.
6
|
Whisk in half of the dry ingredients until just combined. Mix in the yogurt, then the remaining dry ingredients until fully combined.
7
|
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Add a generous sprinkling of turbinado sugar.
8
|
Transfer the remaining solidified brown butter to a piping bag and snip the end off. Use a knife to draw a straight line down the center of the batter. Pipe the brown butter along the line.
9
|
Bake the banana bread for 60-75 minutes or until deeply golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely before cutting.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Brown Your Butter Slowly 🧈
    Cook butter over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, swirling occasionally until it turns golden with a nutty aroma, then cool slightly before adding to prevent cooking the eggs. This deep flavor is essential to the bread's premium taste.
  • Use Perfectly Ripe Bananas 🍌
    Choose bananas with brown spots and slightly soft texture for maximum sweetness and moisture; overripe bananas (almost entirely brown) provide the best flavor and require less added sugar.
  • Don't Overmix Your Batter ✨
    Mix just until ingredients are combined after adding flour to prevent developing gluten, which makes the bread tough instead of tender; a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Bloom Your Spices in the Wet Mix 🤎
    Add cinnamon and nutmeg to the wet ingredients with the brown butter rather than dry ingredients to fully activate their aromatic oils for deeper, more complex flavor.
  • Cool Completely Before Slicing 🕐
    Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing to prevent crumbling and ensure clean, beautiful slices.
