Moist Banana Bread with Cinnamon and Creamy Icing

A gourmet and tasty recipe: the Soft banana bread with cinnamon and its creamy icing! An ideal treat for breakfast or snack. This banana "bread" will seduce you with its incomparable softness.

If you have some overripe bananas at home, don't throw them away! Instead, make banana bread: a very simple and quick recipe to make. I chose to add a creamy frosting to give it a creamy touch when tasting... I hope you'll be won over too!

How to make this moist cinnamon banana bread?

It's really child's play! To make this soft banana bread, you first need crush bananas ripe ones with a fork. This happens all by itself, since they are very ripe.

We then prepare dough : the butter and the sugar are whipped to obtain a creamy mixture. Then we add the eggs one by one, then the yogurt, vanilla and mashed bananas. Apart, we mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon). Then we incorporate them little by little into the dough.

I chose to garnish this banana bread with crushed hazelnuts (this is optional): I add them to the dough just at the end. Then, pour into a buttered and floured cake tin, then put in the oven. NB: it is necessary to let cool banana bread before covering with frosting.

My tips for successful frosting of banana bread

This creamy icing consists of 4 ingredients : lightly salted fresh cheese (Philadelphia for me), well-softened butter, icing sugar and a little milk.

For a successful frosting, it is important that the ingredients are at room temperature. Using a food processor or hand mixer, beat the plain cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the icing sugar (amount to taste), then finally the milk.

You can then cover the soft banana bread with this icing using an angled spatula or a tablespoon...
