- Category: Dessert
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g)
- 1/4 cup sugar (50g)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50g)
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 3 large ripe bananas (400g)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (140g)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (75g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp coffee + 1 tbsp hot water
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (100g or any other add-in of your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare the loaf pan with butter or parchment paper.
- Melt the butter over medium heat until it turns brown and releases a nutty aroma. Remove it and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the browned butter with both types of sugar for 1 minute. Add the eggs and whisk at high speed for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Add in the bananas and whisk them (the mixer should mash them, but you can also mash them yourself).
- Mix the coffee with water and whisk it in.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients, then fold in the walnuts.
- Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, decorate it however you like, and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let it cool and serve! I personally love to warm a slice for 5-10 seconds and spread it with peanut butter. 🤤🤤
