Banana Bread:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter, granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: Mix ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Layer Batter & Cinnamon: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture, add remaining batter, and top with remaining cinnamon mixture.
- Swirl Mixture: Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter.
