Steps

1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2First, start by making the brown butter. Add the diced butter to a small skillet or pot. Heat the skillet to medium heat. The butter will start to melt as the skillet heats up.
3Allow the butter to bubble and “cook” until it begins to change from a bright yellow color to a golden brown color. You will know the butter has “browned” when you see brown bits beginning to form in the bottom of the skillet.
4Remove the butter from the heat and transfer to a heat safe dish to cool while you make the banana bread.
5In a large mixing bowl add the sweet potato puree, dark brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Next, add the brown butter and whisk until well mixed.
6Add the gluten free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
7Transfer the batter to a loaf pan that has been well greased or lined with parchment paper. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Bake the bread at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
8While the bread is baking make the maple cream cheese frosting. Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to whip until fluffy. Next, add the maple syrup, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Whip the cream cheese again until everything is well combined.
9Once the bread has cooled, spread the on the maple cream cheese frosting. Top with chopped nuts, if you like, before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
