I made banana bread in a square pan and therefore it looks like a cake…

AND it is the most delicious, flavorful, crazy moist banana bread that looked like a cake ever. I made some “normal” banana bread last week that everyone went crazy over so when one of my friends told me that she had a bunch of bananas that were going bad and asked if I wanted to make some banana bread with them I said “of course!” How could I possibly pass up free bananas and a chance to make something delicious? My friends finished this off within a few hours. There was nothing left to save, as it should be!

This was so simple to make! First I placed the bananas in the oven for about 20 min. to roast. While they were cooling, I browned the butter and then transferred it into another bowl to cool. When the bananas were cool, I peeled and mashed them and then stirred in the sugars and the eggs.

Next I added in half of the dry ingredients.

Before I added in the second half of the dry ingredients, I poured the brown butter into the batter.

Once everything was combined, I added in the chocolate chips and stirred until they were evenly distributed.

Next I poured the batter into a greased pan and sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top. Then I placed it in the oven for about 25-30 min.

RECIPE:-makes about 12 servings

• 3 ripe bananas

2. While bananas are roasting, brown butter in a saucepan on medium heat on the stove. This should take about 5-10 minutes. Pour brown butter into a bowl to cool.
3. Keep oven on and grease a 9X11 square cake pan.
4. In a medium bowl, stir baking soda, cinnamon, and flour together and set aside.
5. When bananas are cool, peel and mash them in a large bowl.
