Decorating Tips:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Chocolate chips (as much as you like, suggested 1/2 cup)

1. In a saucepan, brown the unsalted butter for about 5 minutes, stirring all the time to prevent it from burning. The butter should have a golden brown color and a nutty aroma.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the browned butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes.
3. Add the egg, mashed ripe bananas and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
4. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and as many chocolate chips as you like. Mix until well combined, taking care not to overmix the dough.
5. Pour the mixture into a lined loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the banana bread cool completely (or as completely as you can wait) before slicing and serving.
