  5. Fold in the chopped nuts (if using).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled banana bread before serving.

Notes

For an extra touch, toast the nuts before adding them to the batter. You can also add raisins or other dried fruits.
