Banana Bread
Directions
- 1Brown the butter on a stovetop, then immediately remove it from the heat to prevent burning and add to a large bowl.
- 2Mash the ripe bananas until they are mushy.
- 3Add milk, mashed bananas, and vanilla bean paste to the bowl with the brown butter.
- 4Add the banana bread mix to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- 5In a separate container (a small plastic bag), mix the chocolate chips with flour.
- 6Fold the flour-coated chocolate chips into the batter.
- 7Butter a loaf pan and pour the batter into it.
- 8Sprinkle the top of the batter with additional chocolate chips and flaky sea salt.
- 9Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is brown and crispy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 10Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips
- Substitute milk for water and unsalted butter for oil in the banana bread mix for a richer flavor.
- Browning the butter adds a nutty depth to the bread.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a heavy and dense bread.
- Coating chocolate chips in flour helps them to be evenly distributed and not sink to the bottom.
- Adding sea salt on top before baking enhances the flavor.
