*I found this recipe in a church fundraiser cookbook my mom bought me a couple years ago. It's by far the best and simplest banana bread recipe I've ever made and it's a for sure hit. I did twist it up to make it my own by adding vanilla, spices and my own glaze. It turned out to be the best part of this bread. Who'd have ever thought coffeemate would make sucha great icing. It glazes the top and puts a shiny yummy finish on top.
