Browned Butter Buttermilk Banana Bread With Strawberry Butter Recipes

BROWNED BUTTER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Measure 1/3 cup of browned butter; reserve remaining browned butter for another use.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
• Mash bananas in a large bowl; stir in brown sugar, white sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup brown butter.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Fold flour mixture into banana mixture just until all ingredients are moistened; pour into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

STRAWBERRY-BROWN BUTTER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray bottom only of 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from heat; pour through strainer into small bowl to remove blackened bits.
• In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in eggs until combined.
• Add bananas, buttermilk and vanilla; stir until smooth. Add flour, baking soda and salt; stir until just combined. Fold in strawberries. Pour into pan.
• Bake 1 hour 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Cover loosely with foil if top is browning too quickly.)
• Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.
