Banana bread is one thing that I make often. It’s a great way to use up any over ripe bananas I often find hanging out on my counter top. Today, I have a recipe with a fun variation. Instead of regular white sugar, this recipe uses brown sugar. You are all gonna want to try out this brown sugar banana bread.

Other than that, this recipe is a pretty regular banana bread recipe. If you want to really bring home the brown sugar flavor in this bread, you can sprinkle some extra over the top of the loaf before you bake it. The result is a nice crispy brown sugary top.

If you do opt for the sugary top, you will want to check on the bread half way through baking. You may need to tent the loaf with some aluminum foil to prevent the top from getting over cooked. You won’t want to end up going to all of that work and end up burning the top of the banana bread.
