Ingredients

Scale
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed, plus 1 halved for decoration
  • 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
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease your loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a light-colored pan, melt the stick of unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the eggs until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well mixed.
  5. Gently combine the banana mixture with the dry ingredients and then fold in the melted brown butter until incorporated—be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place the banana half cut-side up on top and sprinkle additional brown sugar over it.
  7. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
