Serving: 1 loaf | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients
– All-purpose flour – 1 ½ cups
– Baking soda – 1 tsp
– Salt – ½ tsp
– Ripe bananas – 3 medium
– Granulated sugar – ¾ cup
– Vegetable oil – ⅓ cup
– Large egg – 1
– Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
– Ground cinnamon – 1 tbsp
– Brown sugar – ¼ cup
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt.
3. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
4. To the bananas, add ¾ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
5. Tip: For extra moisture, ensure your bananas are very ripe with brown spots.
6. Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet banana mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
7. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp ground cinnamon with ¼ cup brown sugar to create the swirl filling.
8. Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
9. Sprinkle all of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
10. Tip: Reserve a pinch of the cinnamon-sugar to sprinkle on top before baking for extra crunch.
11. Carefully spoon and spread the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
12. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl through the batter 4-5 times to create a marbled effect.
13. Bake at 350°F for 55-65 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
14. Tip: If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
15. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the perfect contrast of the soft, banana-rich crumb against the sweet, spiced cinnamon swirl. Serve a thick slice warm with a pat of butter melting into the ribbons, or enjoy it as a sweet afternoon snack with a cup of coffee.
