It's citrus season, yippee! I love blood oranges. I've only discovered them this past few weeks, and I'm putting them into all my dishes.
I love to make this blood orange bread. It's easy to make, and you don't need any special tools. Only a bowl, spoon/spatula, and your ingredients.
This bread itself is only made with bananas and some honey. But the glaze has powdered sugar, so it's not totally healthy. ;)
I love the bright pink hue of blood oranges. The glaze thins out as we pour it over the warm bread. This is why we have to make the glaze super thick! Don't skip out on the powdered sugar.
You can top this quick bread with candied blood oranges. It makes this bread shine!
