Glazed Brown Sugar Banana bread.

If you love banana bread, this is the recipe for you! It's sweet and delicious and a favourite in my house! It's pretty simple to make.

You will need:
1. 3-4 bananas (mashed)
2. 1/3 cup + about 3 tbsp. melted butter
3. 1/2 cup granulated Sucralose (Splenda)
4. 1/2 cup + about 5 tbsp. brown sugar
5. 1 cup flour
6. 1 tsp. baking soda
7. 1 large egg
8. 1 tsp. vanilla

To make:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a small loaf pan.
2. Cream bananas and 1/3 cup butter together in a large bowl.
3. Beat in egg, Splenda, vanilla, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Once mixed add in baking soda.
4. Mix in the flour one half cup at a time.
5. Pour your mixture into the loaf pan and set to bake for 30 minutes.
6. While its baking melt the 3 tbsp. of butter and mix with 5 tbsp. of brown sugar. If its too runny, add extra sugar, if its too thick, add more butter. This is your glaze.
7. Once the 30 minutes are over, spoon the glaze to the center of the loaf and spread it. It will run down to the sides on its own, so don't spread it too much.
8. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until bread is golden brown.

It's great with coffee or tea, as a breakfast or desert, morning or night:) I hope you found this recipe helpful and easy! Happy Cooking!
