MAPLE BANANA BREAD
This Maple Banana Bread is wonderful! It is the best Fall bread to make and great for the holiday season too.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
The combination of maple and banana really goes well together. If you have followed us for any amount of time, you know we love banana bread. I think there are 20 different variations on our website. We love the maple glaze on this bread; it really adds to the maple flavor. Each time we make this we say how good it is! It’s the perfect Fall banana bread.
SWAPS
If you are not a fan of nuts you can leave them out. We make this bread with buttermilk and we suggest you do too. It adds the perfect fat content and make this bread moist and delicious. You don’t have to add the glaze but it definitely takes this bread to the next level.
This is the BEST banana bread recipe..
I just made it tonight for my family and everyone loves it. I love how the maple complements the bananas. The maple icing is to die for! This is being added to my permanent recipe collection.
⭐TIP
We let the bread cool about 10 minutes in the pan then remove it. We also let the bread cool before adding the glaze. The glaze can be tricky, getting the consistency correct, and you may need to thin it some if it gets too thick. Just keep working with it! It’s worth the effort.
