Description
A sweet and creamy glaze that adds the perfect finishing touch to banana bread. This glaze enhances the flavor with a smooth, vanilla-infused sweetness and a hint of cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream for a richer texture)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for added warmth)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk (or heavy cream) until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon (if using), and whisk until fully combined.
- If using melted butter, whisk it in for a richer flavor.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker one.
- Drizzle over cooled banana loaf and allow it to set before slicing.
Notes
- For a citrus twist, add 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange zest.
- Substitute milk with plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Let the banana loaf cool completely before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting.
