Start by soaking your cashews in 1 cup boiling water in a bowl. Soak for at least 30 min - up to overnight.
Mash your bananas in your bowl. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix.
Add your dry ingredients to the bowl and mix. Pour into a lined or greased loaf pan and bake at 350°f for 35-45 min depending on the size of your pan.
To make the glaze, blend all of the ingredients together except for the pecans until smooth.
