This Banana Bread is an elevated take on the classic we all grew up on. It’s easy and moist every time! And then I went ahead and added a maple glaze… oh babe… this is out of bounds!

Instructions
Banana Bread
-
Preheat the oven to 350. Grease two 8x4 pans. Line the bottom in parchment paper (it makes it easier to remove the bread after it's baked).
-
In a small bowl, mash bananas, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. I like to use my KitchenAid Stand Mixer with the paddle attachment. But you can easily do this with a hand mixer or by hand with a whisk.
-
Add eggs into the butter mixture, and beat or whisk until combined.
-
Sift flour, baking soda and salt into the butter mixture. Stir until just combined. Careful to not overmix.
-
Pour in mashed bananas, and mix until combined.
-
Pour the batter into your bread pans.
-
Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.
-
Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the bread pans and move to a wire cooling rack.
Maple Glaze
-
Melt butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon over low heat in a small saucepan. Once melted together, pull off the heat. Sift in powdered sugar, and whisk until fully combined. Allow to cool for 8-10 minutes so the glaze can thicken.
-
Once the glaze has thickened, give it a quick stir and pour it over the banana bread.
-
Allow the glaze to harden completely before cutting into slices.
-
Enjoy!
Note
Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
