Ingredients
For the Banana Bread:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Snickerdoodle Topping:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2️⃣ Make the Banana Bread Batter
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
3️⃣ Prepare the Snickerdoodle Topping
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle half of the mixture evenly into the greased loaf pan.
4️⃣ Assemble and Bake
Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5️⃣ Cool and Serve
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
Notes
- Be sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
- Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
- If you want extra cinnamon flavor, feel free to add more cinnamon to the batter itself.
