Banana Bars with Browned Butter Icing

Monday, February 18, 2013

We are all guilty of throwing out food. Those leftovers you thought you'd eat. That mystery container well past its due date. But, I have a hard time throwing out bananas. Overripe bananas can be the beginning of far too many good things to let them go to waste. This weekend, I found myself with several super-ripe bananas and took to the internet to find something a little different to do with them. That's when I found these bars.

I tend to become utterly engrossed in things I love. That is how I've ended up hoarding cookbooks, dreaming of Yankees season tickets, living in New York City, and, of course, writing and baking for this blog. One of my current obsessions is browned butter. I've tried not to overwhelm all of you with it, but it's been popping up on BoB rather frequently.

This year, I very excitedly signed up to participate in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. I missed out on the fun last year, so I was sure to get my name on the list this year. Not only is it a fun way to share cookies, it also benefits Cookies for Kids' Cancer. The idea is that food bloggers sign up and then receive addresses of three food bloggers to send cookies to for the holidays. In return, you receive cookies from three different bloggers. I received some delicious cookies from Wine Imbiber, Kara Miller, and Mika Abogado. Thanks, ladies!

I don't often buy store-bought cookies. All the homemade stuff makes that unnecessary. After we moved last month, however, I stayed out of the kitchen until we could get settled into the new place. During those days, I discovered Brooklyn's own The Good Batch at a local market. On impulse, I bought a package of their Brown Butter Salty cookies. These amazing cookies are a soft shortbread made with browned butter and topped with a pinch of salt. I was hooked immediately. So, I set out to make something similar.

After 6+ years of baking and blogging, sometimes I think I've covered all the baking bases. Then, I realize that I've inexplicably ignored something so delicious that I set out to rectify that as soon as possible. That's the case with browned butter. How have I never done this? If you're not familiar with the concept, browning butter creates a rich, nutty, amazing taste that is pretty hard to beat. It's fairly simple to make browned butter. All you need is a saucepan, a spoon, and some butter.
