Description
A delightful twist on classic banana bread, combining ripe bananas with warm cinnamon flavors.
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 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
- Add the baking soda and a pinch of salt. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually stir in the flour until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then top with the remaining batter and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
- Swirl the cinnamon mixture gently into the batter with a knife.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use very ripe bananas. Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for variations.
