Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon swirl. Set aside.
  3. Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add 1/2 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar, whisking until combined and creamy.
  4. Mix in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk. Stir well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and gently swirl with a knife.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.’, ‘Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a fluffy texture.’, ‘Double the cinnamon swirl mixture for extra spice if desired.’, ‘Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread.’]
