Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
Mix in the melted butter.
Stir in the baking soda and salt.
Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla, and mix well.
Stir in the flour until just combined.
In a separate bowl, combine ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the swirl.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool before slicing.
Notes
Store the leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
