Ingredients

300 g ripe banana (Mashed to a paste)
85 g unsalted butter (Browned; plus a small amount to grease the tin)
1 egg (Medium)
100 g caster sugar (Super fine)
80 g soft light brown sugar
185 g plain white flour
1 tsp baking powder
0.25 tsp baking soda
0.25 tsp salt
175 g semi-sweet dark chocolate (Chopped)
250 g cream cheese (For topping)
3.5 tbsp icing sugar (Source gives 3–4 tbsp; adjust to taste and add more if desired)
0.25 tsp vanilla bean paste (For the frosting)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (For cinnamon butter)
1 tsp cinnamon powder (For cinnamon butter)
butter (Small amount for greasing the baking tin)

Steps

1
Preheat the fan-assisted oven to 170°C (338°F).
2
Put the 85 g unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until browned.
3
Grease a 23 × 12 cm rectangular loaf tin with a small amount of butter. Lay a strip of baking paper in the center.
4
Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they form a paste.
5
Add the browned butter and egg to the mashed bananas, then whisk.
6
Add both sugars and whisk to combine.
7
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined.
8
Add the chopped chocolate and fold it through with a wooden spoon.
9
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf tin and cover with foil or baking paper.
10
Bake for around 50 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove the cover after about 40 minutes.
11
Leave the banana bread to cool completely in the tin. If preparing the frosting the next day, cover the cooled tin with cling film and leave at room temperature.
12
When ready to serve, whisk the cream cheese, vanilla bean paste, and icing sugar in a bowl. Taste and add more icing sugar if you want it sweeter.
13
In a saucepan, melt the tablespoon of butter with the cinnamon powder and mix together.
14
Remove the cooled banana bread from the tin. Spread on the frosting, spoon cinnamon butter over the top in puddles, and swirl it through the frosting.
15
Slice and serve.

Notes

The source says the frosting can be prepared the next day; after the loaf cools, cover it with cling film and leave at room temperature. It does not give a specific cooling duration. Recipe states 3–4 tbsp icing sugar; quantity shown as the midpoint, with the range retained in the note.
