For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. Ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best rise. If the top of the loaf begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. Store any leftover gingerbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan to ensure easy release. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Incorporate the dark brown sugar, molasses, vegetable oil, eggs, and ¼ cup of milk. Mix until well combined, creating a rich, moist base. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, ground cloves, ground allspice, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of spices throughout the loaf. (3 minutes)
04
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough loaf. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. (1 minute)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness around 55 minutes to prevent over-baking. (60-70 minutes)
07
StepLet the gingerbread cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the loaf from breaking. (30 minutes)
08
StepFor the glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, whisking until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add additional milk, a teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches a drizzling consistency. (5 minutes)
09
StepOnce the gingerbread is completely cool, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving. (5 minutes)
