Healthy Whole Wheat Brown Butter Banana Bread Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Healthy Whole Wheat Brown Butter Banana Bread Recipe, melt the butter in a pan on medium heat

Step 2: Butter will start foaming and crackling

Step 3: Swirl the pan as the crackling subsides

Step 4: At this stage the butter will start to change its colour to brown and will begin to start smelling nutty

Step 5: Turn off the flame and transfer butter to a large mixing bowl

Step 6: Allow the butter it cool

Step 7: Pre-heat oven to 175 degree Celsius

Step 8: Grease an 8X5 inch loaf tin with butter and line with parchment paper in such a way that the parchment paper hangs over the edges

Step 9: This will help you lift out the banana bread easily once it's baked

Step 10: Place some almonds on a baking sheet and put it into the oven while it is preheating, so the nuts get roasted in the preheating process

Step 11: Keep it for about 7 to 8 minutes

Step 12: Once the nuts are roasted, chop them up and keep aside

Step 13: Once the butter has cooled, add sugar and mix well

Step 14: Add the eggs (or flax meal egg replacer) one at a time, mixing after each egg till everything has combined

Step 15: Add the milk and vanilla extract to this mixture, and give it another whisk

Step 16: Peel the bananas and mash them into the mixture

Step 17: In another bowl, combine the flours, baking soda and salt

Step 18: Sift this into the bowl with the banana mixture, and fold until everything is combined

Step 19: There is no need to blend or over mix at this stage

Step 20: Add the nuts and fold again

Step 21: Pour the banana bread cake batter into the prepared loaf pan

Step 22: Sprinkle with a little sugar on the top, this gives an amazing crunchy crust to the bread

Step 23: Tap once to get rid of air bubbles, and place the banana bread loaf pan in the oven

Step 24: Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes

Step 25: Start checking for done-ness around 50 minutes

Step 26: A skewer or fork inserted into the middle should come out clean when it done

Step 27: Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for 8-10 minutes

Step 28: Lift the bread using parchment paper and let it cool on a wire rack for another 10 minutes before serving

Step 29: Serve the Healthy Whole Wheat Brown Butter Banana Bread  as a tea time snack or pack into the lunch boxes for the kids school
