Browned Butter Einkorn Banana Bread
Browned butter banana bread is a delicious twist on traditional banana bread, but made with browned butter and Einkorn flour which brings out the nutty flavor and richness in this bread.
Ingredients
- 140g (10 tbsp) Salted butter 10 tbsp butter should equal 1/2 cup of melted browned butter. The process of browning butter causes water to evaporate losing 10-20% liquid. This recipe is adjusted to account for that loss. 140g is measured prior to browning.
- 120g (3/4 cup) Coconut sugar
- 350g (3 Medium) Ripe bananas mashed Should be about 1 1/4 cup mashed bananas.
- 1 tsp Vanilla or vanilla bean paste
- 2 Large Eggs
- 180g (1 ½ cup) Einkorn flour all purpose
- 3/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Brown the butter: Add 10 tablespoons butter to a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until melted and simmering. Stir occasionally. The milk solids will separate, sink, and begin to brown. When the butter turns a golden amber color and smells nutty, remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. (Tip: Place in the fridge for 10 minutes if needed, but don’t let it solidify—aim for a warm/cool liquid.)
- Prepare the pan & oven: Line a 9x5 or 8.5x4.5 loaf pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl or stand mixture, whisk together mashed bananas, coconut sugar, vanilla, eggs and cooled brown butter. Make sure the butter isn’t hot, or it will scramble the eggs.
- Add your dry ingredients: Add einkorn flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just incorporated. Fold in optional walnuts or chocolate chips
- Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 1 hour and enjoy!
