Ingredients
Banana Bread
2 cups powdered sugar
1 Tbsp of corn syrup
1/4 cup beer
- 1 3/4 cup AP flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup beer
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Make sure your rack is in the middle of the oven.
- Grease a bread pan with unsalted butter and make sure it’s fully covered so the bread doesn’t stick. You can also use baking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the banana and melted butter and 21st Amendment's Fireside Chat winter warmer.
- Mix so there are no big chunks of banana and then start adding the dry mix. Mix until incorporated and do not over-mix.
- Fold in the walnuts with a spatula and then scrape into your prepared bread pan.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes. Be sure to rotate your bread about halfway through so it bakes evenly. Check the bread by using a toothpick and seeing if any liquid comes out when you poke the middle of the bread.
- Do it a few times because you might hit the banana. Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. After the bread is cooled it should slide right out the pan. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, corn syrup and beer. If the mixture looks too loose then add more powdered sugar.
- If it’s too thick, add a little more beer. If you drank it all then water will work.
- Pour the frosting over the bread and allow it to drip down. I put the bread on a wire rack sitting on a cookie sheet so frosting doesn’t drip everywhere.
- Cut and enjoy!
