  8. Once loaf is fully baked, let it completely cool.
  9. While the bread is cooling, combine the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and salt until it is an icing consistency. Set aside until loaf is completely cooled.
  10. After loaf is cooled, spread the maple glaze evenly on top of the loaf, and it is ready to be served. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. The riper the banana's the sweeter the bread. When a banana is black, it is ready to go!
  2. Do not over bake the loaf. You want it to be nice and moist and over baking could affect that.
