The BEST Banana Bread...

EVER!!!

I found this recipe from a Blog I follow: Whipped
http://www.whippedtheblog.com/

I, Along with Everyone Else I've Made it for, LOVE it! : )
It's GONE in Mere Minutes!

I've Added Few of My Own Touches to the Original Recipe...
I always like to include 1 Extra Banana (4 total),
Spices; Nutmeg, Cinnamon, All Spice, Pumpkin Spice, & Glaze on top.
MMmmm!

I mix in:
1/8 teaspoon of: Cinnamon, All Spice & Pumpkin Spice.
1/4 teaspoon of: Nutmeg (just because I love it so much!)
You can mix in any variation, to your taste or non at all.

Glaze:
Combine 1 Tablespoon Melted Butter, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla, 2 Cups Powder Sugar
& 3 Tablespoons Milk.
Add Milk as needed, to achieve drizzling consistency.
(Sorry my picture does not include my glaze.)
