Ingredients

Scale

4 ripe bananas
1/2 cup unsalted butter (divided)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan with butter.
In a skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter and add brown sugar until bubbling. Layer sliced bananas in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side until caramelized.
In a large bowl, cream remaining butter and dark brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually incorporate sifted flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture; stir gently until just combined.
Pour the batter over the caramelized bananas in the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before flipping onto a serving plate.
