Brown Butter Banana Bread

I learnt about brown butter through food journalist Claire Saffitz and it has truly changed the way I approach baking anything! Brown butter is essentially toasting the milk solids within the butter until they, quite literally, turn brown and develop the most gorgeous nutty flavor and aroma. For those bakes where you want a real depth of flavor, try browning your butter, it truly is a game changer. I tested this new technique with a classic chocolate banana bread recipe from Jeremy Scheck and this loaf never saw a second day out of the oven. My family and I polished the whole thing off, that’s how good it was. I can't remember where I first saw a banana bread baked with a halved banana on top, I was quite skeptical but it turned out great! Add a little flair to a regular loaf doesn't it? If you’re looking for a way to elevate your bakes, do give this a try!
