Ingredients

Scale
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed (plus 1 halved lengthwise 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. Grease an 8.5-by-4.5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a light-colored sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas and mix with eggs until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  5. Gently fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the melted brown butter without overmixing.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and top with banana halves cut-side up, sprinkling with additional brown sugar.
  7. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
