Brown the Butter<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Let it melt, bubble, and turn golden brown while releasing a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Prep the Bananas<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl. The more overripe they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your loaf will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Combine Wet Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whisk in the brown butter, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Mix Dry Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Bring Everything Together<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined. Overmixing can make the bread dense, so keep it light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Add Walnuts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fold in the chopped walnuts. For extra crunch, sprinkle some on top before baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Bake<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at <strong>350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong> for <strong>50\u201360 minutes<\/strong>.<br>Your loaf is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8.
