A delightful variation of classic banana bread with a warm cinnamon-sugar swirl that elevates every slice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Combine the mashed bananas with the melted butter in a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix in the baking soda and salt until well-blended.
  4. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the flour, mixing until just combined.
  6. Combine cinnamon and brown sugar in a separate bowl for the filling.
  7. Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Layer the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar layer.
  8. Use a knife to gently swirl the batter together, but be careful not to overmix.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas and do not overmix the batter. Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
