Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (for a tangy twist)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze Base:
- In a small mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
- Add the Liquid Ingredients:
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk or cream and the vanilla extract to the powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- Adjust the Consistency:
- If the glaze is too thick, add more milk or cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. For a tangy flavor, add the lemon juice and mix well.
- Glaze the Banana Bread:
- Drizzle the glaze over a cooled banana bread loaf using a spoon or pour it for a smoother finish. Let it set for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, reduce the liquid or add more powdered sugar.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze for a warm, spiced flavor.
- The glaze is best applied to completely cooled banana bread to avoid melting.
