Description
A delightful banana bread filled with a rich cinnamon swirl, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
- 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 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 until well combined.
- Mix in the baking soda and salt, then add in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
- Gently stir in the flour until just incorporated.
- Mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar in a separate bowl.
- Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Pour the remaining batter over it, then sprinkle with the leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Swirl through the batter with a knife to create a marble effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
