Brown the Butter:

Preheat the Oven:
  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
