Brown butter banana bread

I love browned butter; everything about it is amazing. I took my family's banana bread recipe (which yields the best banana bread I've ever had) and browned the butter. Side note - when you brown butter it becomes dehydrated... you can counteract this by adding an ice cube. Additionally the ice helps cool the butter to usable temperatures faster.

1 stick of butter - browned
1 1/4 c sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c sour croup
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 ripe bananas - mashed
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream the sugar and butter until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and bananas one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition.

In a separate container, mix together dry ingredients. Add in small batches to the batter, mixing well with each addition.

Pour into greased 9x5x3 loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until a toothpick is dry when inserted in and removed. I find that this happens at ~55 minutes.
