Ingredients
Banana Bread Ingredients:
4 medium ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup butter, melted, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1+1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (2 oz)
1 -3/4 – 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1–2 teaspoon milk (if needed to reach desired consistency)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan with butter and line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter together until smooth.
Mix in the maple syrup until incorprated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingridents. Gently fold with a spatula just until combined (do not overmix, or the bread will be dense.)
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Leave the loaf in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool before frosting.
In a small bowl, whisk the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Add the powdered sugar in 3 additions, whisking after each portion.
Note: For a thinner frosting, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency.
Use an offset spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cooled loaf.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
