Ingredients
  • 4 Ripe Bananas, peeled
  • 5Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, plus more to grease the pan
  • 1 1/2Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 1/2Cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
  1. Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with softened butter or non-stick baking spray or prepare cupcake pan in preferred way.
  2. Cook the 5 Tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan until the butter starts to turn a golden brown color and smells nutter, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda.
  4. In a large bowl, using a potato masher, mash the bananas until they’re pretty smooth. Add the sugars, cooled brown butter, and beaten egg to the mushed bananas and mix. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan or muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes for muffins or 40-50 minutes for loaf. Ensure the bread is done by inserting a toothpick into the center and it coming our clean or taping the muffins and them springing back to shape.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 15 minutes then remove from pan and place on cooling rack to finish cooling.
