Equipment

  • 9×5-inch loaf pan
  • large bowl
  • small bowl
  • fork
  • whisk
  • spoon

Ingredients
  

Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1.5 cups mashed ripe banana about 4 bananas

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 slices ripe banana for garnishing

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, melt the butter and let cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar then the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour and baking soda. Fold in the mashed bananas until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, use a fork to stir together the cinnamon sugar swirl ingredients until thick and well combined. If your swirl is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of melted butter.
  • Spread ¼ of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Dollop ¼ of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter and swirl.
  • Place ⅓ of the remaining batter over the first layer and swirl with ⅓ of the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Place ½ of the remaining batter over the second layer and swirl with ½ of the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Spread the remaining batter over the top and dollop with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Swirl throughout the loaf and place banana slices down the middle.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

If the top is browned before the center is baked, cover with foil until done.
