Banana Nut bread

by

TThe Glaze is optional too, so you can totally skip it and you won’t even miss it. Especially if you don’t have a sweet tooth. I used glaze because you know I do like to take pictures and make things look pretty. The glaze does make it look pretty.

The bananas should be ripe, choose the ones with the peel that is around 60 percent brown. Once I left the bunch of bananas in the trunk of our car overnight during a snowstorm. The next day we got black frozen bananas, which were all mushy when thawed. You, of course, should not wait for a snowstorm, if you have the ingredients then you should bake this bread. It tastes so good, especially during fall and winter with Chai, you won’t regret it.

This bread tastes so good especially during fall and winter with Chai.
