Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

In a saucepan over medium heat, brown the butter. Stir frequently as it melts, foams, and sizzles. Once it turns golden with a nutty aroma, pour it into a bowl and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool down.

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the cooled browned butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is glossy.

Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Fold in about 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter.

Pour the batter into a lined loaf pan and top with the remaining chocolate chips.

Bake for 60 minutes, loosely covering with foil halfway through. Check with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. If needed, bake for an extra 5 to 10 minutes. Let it cool before slicing.
