Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Some chunks are okay.
• To the mashed bananas, add melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for 45 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
• Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with crumbs but no wet batter.
• While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk. Add more milk until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. Set aside.
• Remove the banana bread from the oven and evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the top.
• Turn the oven to low broil. Place the loaf back in the oven and broil for 30-60 seconds, watching carefully, until the brown sugar melts. (You can also use a kitchen torch.)
• Remove from the oven. Immediately drizzle glaze over the brown sugar topping.
• Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
