Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam. As the foam lessens, constantly stir butter until butter is light golden brown and smells amazing. Immediately remove from heat and if necessary put in a heat proof pan so it doesn't continue to brown (it can easily burn).
- In a small bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the browned butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until thick and smooth. Stir in mashed bananas. With the mixer on low, add flour mixture a third at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in toasted nuts (optional). With a rubber spatula, spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Cool. Enjoy plain or add frosting.
