Servings: 2 Loaves

Ingredients

Bread

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3-4 medium or large bananas
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Coffee Glaze

  • 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp strong coffee brewed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp espresso powder optional

Instructions

Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Grease two 8x4 pans.
  • In a small bowl, mash bananas. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in vanilla extract, and mix.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined.
  • Add in mashed bananas, and mix until combined. Pour into prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs stuck to it.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Move to a wire cooling rack.

Glaze

  • Mix together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, espresso powder (if using), and 1 1/2 Tbsp brewed coffee. If the glaze is thicker than your desired preference, add in the last 1/2 Tbsp of brewed coffee.
  • Pour the glaze evenly over both loaves. Allow the glaze to harden completely before cutting into slices.
  • Enjoy!
