Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup plain, whole-milk yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 banana, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the butter over low heat for roughly 5 minutes, swirling the pan every 20 seconds or so. Heat until the milk solids turn a light golden brown color. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix together sugar, mashed bananas, and brown butter. After mixing, stir in eggs, yogurt, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk both flours, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently into batter until just combined.
- Pour into loaf pan and top with thinly sliced banana pieces. I used ½ a banana for this part. Bake for roughly 1 hour, until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack before serving!
