Step-by-Step Instructions for Brown-Butter Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Melt unsalted butter in a sauté pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Mash bananas in a bowl, then mix in eggs until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- Combine banana-egg mixture with dry ingredients and fold in brown butter until just mixed.
- Transfer batter to the prepared pan, place halved banana on top, and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Bake for 70 to 80 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. Avoid overmixing for a tender loaf.
