Ingredients
  

For the Banana Bread:

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Fine Salt
  • ¾ cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter at room temperature
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • cup Sour Cream
  • 4 Overripe Bananas mashed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

For the Glaze:

  • ¼ cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • cup Confectioners’ Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a 9x5-inch baking dish by greasing it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and fine salt. Whisk them together to ensure uniform distribution. Set this dry mixture aside for later use.
  • In a separate, larger mixing bowl, cream together the packed brown sugar and unsalted butter until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency. Following this, incorporate the eggs into the mixture, ensuring to add them one at a time whilst mixing continuously.
  • Into the same bowl, incorporate the sour cream, mashed bananas, and pure vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  • Gradually integrate the previously set aside dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until combined, ensuring not to overwork the batter to maintain the bread's desired texture.
  • Transfer the final batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place in the preheated oven and allow to bake for approximately 55 to 60 minutes. A toothpick or knife inserted into the center of the bread should emerge clean, indicating its doneness.
  • Whilst the bread is cooling, commence the preparation of the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the packed brown sugar and unsalted butter. Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue heating until the sugar has dissolved entirely, which should take approximately 1 minute.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and integrate the heavy cream. Subsequently, sift in the confectioners’ sugar and kosher salt. Stir continuously until a smooth glaze is formed.
  • Allow the glaze to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Once slightly thickened, pour it uniformly over the cooled banana bread.
