Prepare the brown butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown color and smells nutty. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

In a separate medium bowl, mash the super ripe saba bananas until mostly smooth. Add the large eggs, vanilla extract, and the slightly cooled brown butter to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Gently fold in the jackfruit strips.

Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Prepare the turon topping: Lay out the lumpia wrappers. Brush each wrapper generously with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar. Fold each wrapper accordion-style, creating a pleated strip.

Arrange the folded lumpia wrappers on top of the banana bread batter in the loaf pan. You may need to trim them to fit the length of the pan.

Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the banana bread comes out clean. The topping should be golden brown and crispy. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil.

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
