Description
This smooth and sweet icing adds the perfect finishing touch to your banana nut bread. Made with cream cheese, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon, it enhances the cozy, nutty flavor of the loaf.
Ingredients
-
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
-
Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency — thick enough to spread or drizzle.
-
Once smooth, spread or drizzle the icing over cooled banana nut bread before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of maple syrup or chopped walnuts into the icing.
Ensure the banana nut bread is fully cooled before icing to prevent melting.
