How to Make Banana Butter

  1. Mash the ripe bananas in a medium bowl until completely smooth.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the mashed bananas to the melted butter and stir well to combine.
  4. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The banana butter will thicken further as it chills.
  8. Serve chilled on your favorite bread, scones, or desserts.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
