Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
Optional: ½ cup sugar cookie dough for topping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until golden brown and nutty in aroma. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with granulated sugar. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth, then stir in mashed bananas.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while stirring gently until just combined. Fold in brown sugar.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan; add optional sugar cookie dough dollops on top if desired.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
