Ingredients

Scale

For the Banana Bread:

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

For the Maple Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons milk or plant-based milk (to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter (or oil), brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  • Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. If using nuts, fold them in gently.
  • Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  • Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more milk or powdered sugar.
  • Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the maple glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides. Let the glaze set before slicing.
