This Brown Butter Banana Cinnamon Roll Cake is so good! The texture is moist and it has a nice crumb to the cake. This is perfect with a cup of coffee or tea (for me)! You will need 10 ingredients total: brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, bananas, egg, milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder and powder sugar. Full recipe below. We did our shopping at Giuntas! 

Ingredients

  • Cinnamon Topping: 

  • * 5 tbsp brown sugar 
    * 1 tbsp cinnamon @Giuntasmeatfarms
    * 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 

  • Banana Cake:

  • * 2 mashed bananas or puréed 
    * 4 tbsp brown butter, melted 
    * 1/3 cup brown sugar
    * 1 egg
    * 3/4 cup milk (we used whole, can use almond or buttermilk) 
    * 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
    * 1 2/3 flour
    * 3 tsp baking powder
    * 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • Icing:

  • * 1/2 cup powder sugar 
    * 2-3 tbsp milk or heavy cream 

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a 8×8 baking dish with a square of parchment paper and grease dish with baking spray. In a small bowl combine brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter, stir and set aside. 
  • Make brown butter by simply heating butter on stovetop on medium heat and stir constantly for 5 minutes till brown. In a medium bowl combined mashed or puréed bananas, brown butter, and brown sugar, whisk together. Add egg, milk and extract and stir. 
  • In a separate bowl add baking powder and cinnamon to flour and stir. Mix into wet ingredients and combine. Add batter to prepared baking dish and smooth out evenly. Scoop out cinnamon topping on to cake and swirl into the top of the cake. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Ours baked exactly for 30 minutes. 
  • Remove from oven and combine powder sugar and milk for icing. Once cooled pop out of baking dish and pour icing on top. Slice and enjoy.
