Organize all of the banana bread ingredients – very ripe bananas, chocolate chips, butter, room temperature eggs, sour cream, sugar, kosher salt, baking soda, vanilla and King Arthur’s Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour.
Browning the Butter
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low simmer and cook until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 15-20 minutes. (Mine took 20 mins but actual time could be shorter if your stovetop runs hot.) Set browned butter aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
Making the Batter
Mix sugar and browned butter together by hand in a large bowl. Add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream and incorporate with the butter and sugar mixture. Then add gluten free flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix batter until smooth. Lastly, fold in bananas and chocolate chips until just combined.
Baking the Banana Bread
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven on the middle rack until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Mine bakes for 60-65 minutes.
