Instructions
Brown the butter
Add butter to a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma.
Cool the browned butter
Pour browned butter into a bowl and place in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Mash bananas and mix wet ingredients
Mash bananas until mostly smooth, then whisk with 1/2 cup browned butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until no dry flour remains.
Preheat oven and add chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 175°C. Fold in about 1 cup of chocolate chips, saving the rest for topping.
Prepare pan and bake
Line or grease a loaf pan, pour in the batter, sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top, and bake for 60 minutes.
Check doneness and cool
Insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool slightly before slicing.
