Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 eggs
100g
2 bananas
240g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a mini loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add the Eggs:
- Add the 2 eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
4. Mash the Bananas:
- In a separate bowl, mash the 2 bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher.
5. Combine the Banana and Wet Ingredients:
- Stir the mashed bananas into the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
6. Add the Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the 1 cup of self-raising flour to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a tender loaf.
7. Fill the Loaf Pans:
- Divide the batter evenly among the mini loaf pans. Fill each cavity about 3/4 full.
8. Bake:
- Place the mini loaf pans in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.
- If baking in standard loaf pans, allow additional baking time (up to 40-45 minutes), but make sure to keep an eye on them and test doneness with a toothpick.
9. Cool:
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.
- Then, transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Icing:
- While the loaves are cooling, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, mix the 1 cup of powdered sugar with a small amount of water or milk (about 1-2 tablespoons) until you reach a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
11. Drizzle the Icing:
- Once the loaves are completely cool, drizzle the powdered sugar icing over the top of each loaf. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for this.
12. Serve:
- Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your individual banana loaves as a delightful snack or dessert!

Tips:

- Ensure your bananas are ripe for the sweetest and most flavorful loaves; overripe bananas with brown spots work best.

- For a fluffier texture, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy before adding the eggs.

- Mix the batter gently to avoid overworking the flour, which can make the loaves dense.

- Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.

- Cool the loaves completely before glazing or storing to keep them moist and delicious.

Enjoy your delicious homemade individual banana loaves! These mini loaves are perfect for sharing with family and friends or savoring as a delightful treat on your own. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their moist texture and rich banana flavor.
