Olivia Regard's Brown Butter Banana Bread

    Banana Bread Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
    • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup white sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 3 bananas*
    • 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
    • 2 tablespoons orange juice
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 3/4 cup pecan pieces, toasted
      • Streusel Ingredients

        • 2/3 cup pecan pieces, toasted
        • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
        • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
        • 1/2 cup flour
        • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
          • Directions:

            1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two loaf pans with butter and a light dusting of flour.
            2. Toast pecan pieces for both bread and streusel topping for approximately 10 minutes until fragrant.
            3. Streusel: Melt 1/4 cup butter, stir in 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix in 2/3 cup toasted pecans and set aside.
            4. Banana Bread: Place 3/4 cup butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Once melted, cook until sizzling stops and brown bits appear, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
            5. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 3/4 cup toasted pecans. Set aside.
            6. In a food processor, blend brown butter, bananas, eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, yogurt, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth (about 20 seconds). Pulse to remove remaining banana chunks.
            7. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and carefully fold together. Do not overmix. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans.
            8. Pour streusel topping over batter, gently pressing into the surface.
            9. Bake for 30–40 minutes, until a skewer or knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
            10. Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy!
            11. Tip: Freeze overripe bananas in the peel for future use. Defrost slightly before using.
