Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar for banana bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 4 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar for glaze
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter for glaze
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup softened butter. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in 1/2 cup sour cream, 4 mashed bananas, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a boil and cook for about 1 minute until the sugar dissolves. Stir in 2 tablespoons heavy cream and remove from heat. Add 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Whisk until smooth.
  • Allow the glaze to cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Pour the glaze over the cooled banana bread, letting it drizzle down the sides.
  • Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate treat!

Notes

For extra texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or toffee bits over the glaze before it sets. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
