Servings: 9 biscuits
Calories: 309kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup (67 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups (306 g) buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8x8-inch baking dish. Place the dish on a sheet pan to catch any butter that may bubble over during baking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
- In a small bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Stir in the vanilla and buttermilk.
- Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. The dough should be thick and scoopable, not thin like cake batter. If it seems too wet, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour. If it seems too stiff, add 1 tablespoon of buttermilk.
- Spoon the dough over the melted butter and gently spread it into an even layer, reaching the edges of the pan. Do not stir the butter into the dough.
- Using a knife, gently score the dough into 9 squares.
- Bake for 18 minutes. If the edges are getting too dark, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil, then continue baking for another 7 to 9 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and set. The total baking time will be 25 to 27 minutes.
- Let the biscuits rest in the pan for 10 minutes so the butter can finish soaking into the biscuits. Serve warm.
