Instructions

Creating the perfect Banana Bread with Lemon Glaze is easy! Follow these simple steps for a successful bake:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  1. Prepare Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  1. Mix Butter: Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until combined.
  1. Add Baking Soda and Salt: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.
  1. Incorporate Sugar: Add in the sugar, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  1. Fold in Flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay.
  1. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  1. Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  1. Prepare Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  1. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, letting it set for a few minutes.

These straightforward steps will guide you to make a beautifully moist Banana Bread with Lemon Glaze that will surely impress anyone who tries it!
