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