Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons Milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and free of lumps.
  • If the glaze is too thick, gradually add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  • For extra flavor, add lemon zest or other optional ingredients like cinnamon.
  • Once the banana bread has cooled slightly but is still warm, drizzle or spread the glaze on top.
  • Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If it thickens too much when stored, add a little milk and whisk to return it to a smooth consistency.
