Ingredient Notes

Bananas – You’ll want your bananas to be nice and ripe, but not squishy like with other banana breads. The peels should have some brown spots, but not be all the way brown. This way, the fruit will hold up well to caramelizing. Dark Brown Sugar – Dark brown sugar adds more depth to your caramel flavor. In a pinch, any brown sugar will do. Butter – Unless you have a dietary restriction, use real butter. Butter substitutes can affect the texture of the bread and will not brown appropriately for the brown butter glaze.

Instructions

Can I make this ahead of time? Feel free to bake your bread a day ahead of time. Cover tightly in plastic wrap and store on the counter. Prepare the glaze fresh, and allow enough time before serving to allow the glaze to cool and harden.
