BROWN BUTTER BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9 x 13 " sheet pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it. Set aside.
• In a medium sauce pan brown the butter over medium heat, whisking constantly until the butter begins to foam and brown. Keep a close eye on it and don't let it boil! You'll know it's done when it starts to smell toasted and nutty and takes on a golden hue.
• In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the brown butter, stirring to combine. Mix in the eggs, greek yogurt, and vanilla. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Add the chocolate chips and stir until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back to the touch. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
