Brilliant Banana Loaf
There is nothing my kids love more than banana bread and this Brilliant Banana Loaf is their favorite cake. This recipe is like a cross between banana bread and a drizzle cake. It is a great recipe to make when you have a lot of overripe bananas in your fruit bowl. It is sweet and rich and delicious!
It couldn’t be easier to make this loaf. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add beaten egg and fold in the flour, baking powder and 2 mashed bananas. Bake in the preheated oven and cool on a wire rack. As the cake cools, make a runny icing. Drizzle the icing over the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips. Enjoy with a cup of coffee.
To make Brilliant Banana Loaf you will need the following ingredients:

Takes a little over 50 minutes to make but it's worth the time.
One of my favorite bread recipes but also in my not too sweet list.
Love the taste and appearance of this dessert bread I eat it quite often with peanut butter spread or jelly.
I personally think the vegan banana bread had a softer texture than this.
Yummy! fun to make too i liked it a lot thanks cookme for the dope dishes you come up with.
Goes great with tea or coffee on the side and you can dip pieces into honey too if you have a huge sweettooth like myself.
Poured mine into a heartshaped pan it looks cute and taste great too!
Not bad but not too into the whole banana bread thing.
Flavorful and simple to make exactly the type of sweet bread I wanted for the morning.
Can I buy ripe bananas some where or i must wait a week or two with normal ones?..
Dried up bananas on the top do not taste good at all i wouldnt add them if i were u just go for a cream or yogurt instead if you want it to look pretty and add fresh fruit.

Replace the caster sugar for brown if you want to keep the bread tasting slightly bland-ish and not powerfully sweet.
Vegetarian banana bread? Sign me up i'm ready to learn.

Ended up using 3 eggs instead of 2 there just wasn't enough and the dough was still too flour-y.
Daughter helped me make this and we put a bit of sprinikles and chocolate chips inside!

If you want a crunch on the inside toss in some chopped almonds or crushed walnuts..both work too ;)
Icing surgar is too much I used strawberry yogurt instead and it's thick texture soaks into the bread..so good.
Delicious, you guys seem to know what youre doing when it comes to food.
