Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- 2
Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- 3
Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
- 4
Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat.
- 5
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3–4 minutes.
- 6
Watch carefully so the butter does not burn.
- 7
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10–15 minutes.
- 8
Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl.
- 9
Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute.
- 10
Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3–4 minutes.
- 11
In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- 12
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- 13
Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated.
- 14
Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- 15
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
- 16
Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60–70 minutes.
- 17
Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.

Enjoy!
