Banana bread was the hit of lockdown 2020, and there’s no need to forget it now.  This version has brown butter and brown sugar to add some extra luxury to this moist and moreish cake. The brown butter adds caramel and nutty taste and the brown sugar adds that molasses richness. Whether you are eating it for breakfast – we don’t judge, or covered in custard or with a cup of tea this banana bread is really the best you will taste.
