After seeing these glazed carmelized banana bread donuts made on The Ultimate Recipe Showdown I decided that I wanted to give them a whirl. They were incredibly light and we loved the cinnamony deliciousness from the Hersheys Cinnamon Chips. Our little one insisted we dye the glaze purple. Banana bread is just one of those foods that always sounds so good and adding a little sprinkle of cinnamon chips and a drizzle of glaze takes them to a whole new level. Each bite is filled with a touch of sweet, a little hint of cinnamon and a nice little burst of banana. Leaving the bananas a little bit chunky is definitely a good idea, so yum! We will definitely make these again and you all should stop by Picky Palate and check them out for yourself!
Does Banana Bread Need To Be Refrigerated?
Banana bread does not have to be refrigerated.
Wrap it well and store banana bread in a cool place.
How Long Will Banana Bread Keep?
Banana bread will stay fresh in the pantry for about 2-3 days.
Banana bread should be wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in a plastic bag.
What Is The Best Oil For Frying?
Peanut oil, canola, and safflower oils are great oils to use for frying.
They have a high smoke point, which is good when frying foods.
Extra light olive oil and sunflower oil are great options to use when deep frying.
Both have a high smoke point, and are heart-healthy unsaturated fats.

Yes, I agree with Jenn that you should make them and then I can try them too… Of course after eating these I will need to buy a bigger dress… Oh sacrifices.
