ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter or vegan butter
  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 4 very ripe medium bananas
  • 2 tablespoons milk, of your choice
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chunks

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350F/180C.

  • Step 2

    For the brown butter, preheat a heavy bottom pan on medium heat and add butter, melt and allow to start foam. Watch carefully and stir until the color becomes light brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool to room temperature.

  • Step 3

    In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

  • Step 4

    In a separate large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, maple syrup and brown butter. Whisk until the brown color becomes pale and sugar is dissolved. Add the eggs*, vanilla extract, miso paste, bananas, and milk. Mash the bananas and whisk to combine. *make a vegan "egg" by combining 2 tablespoons ground flax with 5 tablespoons of water*

  • Step 5

    Add in the dry ingredients and stir until just combined and you see no more flour. Fold in the chocolate chunks.

  • Step 6

    Transfer to a greased parchment lined loaf pan, garnish top with more chocolate chunks and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean from the middle of the bread.
