Step-by-Step Instructions for Lavender Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 6-cup loaf pan by spraying it with nonstick baking spray.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter with brown sugar, whisk until smooth, then add eggs, vanilla extract, and lavender extract.
- Add the mashed ripe bananas to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients to the banana mixture until no dry flour is visible.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until golden brown.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert onto parchment paper to cool completely.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lavender extract, heavy cream, and milk for the glaze until smooth.
- Drizzle the prepared glaze over the cooled Lavender Banana Bread and sprinkle with culinary lavender flowers if desired.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for best flavor. Avoid overmixing to retain a fluffy texture. Store in airtight container to maintain freshness.
