Ingredients

For the Banana Bread:

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large mashed very ripe bananas
2 tablespoons milk
2 eggs

For the Caramel Icing:

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar sifted

Instructions

Make the banana bread:

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by spraying it generously with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add the mashed bananas and milk and mix with a hand mixer for 2 minutes.
4 large mashed, 2 tablespoons milk
Add the eggs and mix just until combined.
2 eggs
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and cook until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Cool completely, then remove the bread from the baking pan.

Make the caramel icing:

In a saucepan, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar
Whisk in the cream and the powdered sugar until no lumps remain.
2 teaspoons heavy cream, 1 cup powdered sugar
Immediately pour the icing over the loaf of banana bread. (It sets up very quickly, so you must pour quickly.)
Cut into slices to serve.

Notes

*you can also use a stand mixer. Or mix by hand, but it will take longer than the 2 minutes to completely mix the batter.
