## Ingredients

- 170 g unsalted butter, softened
- 223 g brown sugar
- 72 g white sugar
- 340 g mashed banana
- 2 whole egg
- 6 g vanilla paste
- 6 g molasses
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 5 g baking soda
- 5 g salt
- 4 oz buttermilk
- 2 oz grade a maple syrup
- flaky sea salt (optional)

## Instructions

1. Cream softened butter and both sugars together.
2. Add mashed banana and mix until combined.
3. Add eggs and vanilla paste, then mix again.
4. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
6. Add buttermilk half at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
7. Pour into lightly sprayed and parchment covered loaf pan.
8. Bake at 325 degrees until deeply golden and firm to the touch, or until internal temperature reaches 200-205 degrees.
9. Remove from oven and immediately pour maple syrup on top in small sections, distributing with a pastry brush.
10. Top with flaky sea salt and allow to cool completely.

## Tips

- The butter will split when adding eggs and vanilla; don't worry.
- This banana bread is even better the next day.
- At its peak, slice the bread, wrap each slice in plastic wrap, freeze, then thaw before enjoying. The moisture from thawing gets redistributed within the plastic wrap.
