Iced Banana Bread

"This recipe came from Taste of Home's complete guide to baking. This recipe calls for buttermilk- something I had never had in banana bread....I think it is probably what makes this bread so yummy! This freezes well. It looks complicated, but really isn't. I just use my kitchenaid and don't even mash the bananas."
