Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.

Step 3

Make the bread: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 4

Beat brown sugar and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until combined after each addition. Mix in bananas and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating on low speed just until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 20 minutes.

Step 6

While the bread is cooling, make the glaze: Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in whipping cream and remove from the heat. Add confectioners' sugar and salt; stir until smooth.

Step 7

Run a knife around the edges of the bread, transfer loaf to a plate, and drizzle glaze over top. Or, drizzle glaze over loaf while still in the pan, and serve it from the pan.
