Brown Butter Banana Bread

Method

1. Heat the oven to 175°C. Grease the loaf pan.
2. Melt the butter in the saucepan over medium heat. Keep cooking, swirling, until it foams, the milk solids turn nut brown and it smells toasty, 4 to 6 minutes. Pour into a large bowl and cool 10 minutes.
3. Mash the bananas into the butter. Whisk in the brown sugar, eggs, sour cream and vanilla.
4. Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in another bowl, then fold into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the walnuts.
5. Scrape into the pan. Bake 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil after 40 minutes if the top darkens fast.
6. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack. Slice once it is mostly cool.
