Glazed
(made the glaze a little too thick again but it's tasty!)

Looks good to me. I’ve never made banana bread in a Bundt pan. I usually use a loaf pan.

Good evening. We both ended up with new sneakers but we were there forever trying to decide. Target didn’t take too long. I am glad though that I’m off tomorrow and get one more day of rest before heading back to the chaos.

I’ve been using a combination of tfa and Flv blackberry in my cookie mix. I looked at my stash and surprisingly don’t have the FW. Is it a sweet flavor?

I don't have TFA. Do have the FLav and I would say the FW is a little sweeter. To be honest I'm not very good at converting flavors into words though.

I boosted the percentage on the tfa on my last mix trying to get a little more tartness to it and it helped but still not getting the tartness level I get on the dinner lady. It’s not bad though.

Hello, Kat.

 

[FranC]

Good evening. We both ended up with new sneakers but we were there forever trying to decide. Target didn’t take too long. I am glad though that I’m off tomorrow and get one more day of rest before heading back to the chaos.

Good evening, hitt Glad you get tomorrow off.

Looks good to me. I’ve never made banana bread in a Bundt pan. I usually use a loaf pan.

I forget where I originally saw a banana bread recipe for a bundt pan but I think my recipe came from one that was for two loaf pans. I modified the recipe some years ago and have a couple of variations of it.
Even if the banana bread itself turns out so-so, the glaze makes it better. (I don't always use a glaze - depends if I have real maple syrup or not)

I did get four new testers mixed,

Happy Little Blue Peaches • blueberry and peach with a touch of cooling. A bit busy as I used the blueberry trinity with FA Bilberry (slightly adjusted) and three peaches blended as well. Since the profile is really only two flavors I decided to try and build each up a bit to see how it works.

Treasured • INW Dragon Fruit, FA Mango Indian Special, TPA Strawberry, with a little INW Cactus and Cap Super Sweet. (trying cactus again - only 0.5 which didn't put me off last time I tried it)

Dealing • Cap Sweet Mango, INW Peach, FJ Strawberry Sweet, with a little each of INW Cactus, Cap Super Sweet, FA Polar Blast.

Cruising • Cap Candied Mango, Cap Sweet Tangerine, FA Watermelon, with just a little each of Cap Lemon Drop, INW Cactus, Cap Super Sweet.

Those names are somewhat related to AI art image prompts that I used for those recipes.

I usually make a mix for a topping on mine with chopped walnuts, sugar, brown sugar, a little flour, and butter. I think the glaze on yours looks great and might try that sometime. Our recipe is from an old Betty Crocker cookbook.

Evening, mixers

Early appointments in town tomorrow, so the funnies will be delayed.

Your topping sounds tasty as well!
(I also might have that cookbook - I have more cookbooks than I do flavor concentrates)

The maple glaze recipe that I use most often is a "cooked" type - heat the butter and syrup in a pan until bubbling.

2 TBS Butter
1/4 cup Maple Syrup (real, not pancake syrup)
1 Cup powdered sugar
optional:
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Melt butter with syrup over medium heat. Add sugar and whisk until smooth.

I add the vanilla and cinnamon to the hot mixture just a bit before I'm ready to pour it on the sugar.
I have a metal mixing bowl that I put the sugar in and then pour the hot butter/syrup mixture into that and whisk.
It will set pretty quick. Might want to go lighter on the sugar or heavier on the syrup to gain a little more working time.
