Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
-
Heat bourbon in a small saucepan for 2 minutes, then set aside to cool.
-
Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by buttering and flouring it, or lining with parchment paper.
-
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
-
In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until blended.
-
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add mashed bananas, cooled bourbon, and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture in thirds to the wet ingredients, stirring gently after each addition until just combined; do not overmix.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 1 hour on a middle rack.
-
Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean.
-
Cool the loaf pan on a rack.
-
Whisk bourbon and confectioners' sugar for the glaze.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled, removed bread.
