Notes

  • Make sure the bananas are ripe before mashing them. Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before adding the cream cheese icing. Otherwise, the icing will melt and become runny.
  • If you want a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner icing, add less powdered sugar.
