🛒 Ingredients

✓ 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for browning)
✓ 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1.25 cups)
✓ 1 whole egg
✓ 2 tbsp aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
✓ 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 tsp baking soda
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 1/2 cup coconut sugar
✓ 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
✓ 1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
✓ Pinch of ground cloves
✓ 1 tbsp raw walnuts, chopped (optional topping)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Brown the Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, stirring occasionally. Continue heating 5–7 minutes until milk solids turn golden brown and aroma becomes fragrant and nutty. Pour into a bowl and cool 5 minutes; reserve 1 tsp for topping if desired.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk cooled brown butter with Greek yogurt until smooth. Add mashed bananas, whole egg, and aquafaba. Whisk until fully combined and no lumps remain.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

4. Incorporate Sugar and Vanilla: Stir coconut sugar and vanilla extract into wet mixture until evenly distributed. Coconut sugar may have slight granules—this adds texture.

5. Fold Dry Into Wet: Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few flour streaks are acceptable.

6. Prepare Pan and Pour: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a small loaf pan (6×3 inches or equivalent) with cooking spray. Pour batter evenly; smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake Until Golden: Bake 35–38 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with just a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden brown and feel firm when lightly pressed.

8. Cool and Serve: Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing. Slice into 2 generous portions. Optional: drizzle reserved browned butter over warm bread.
