Ingredients

Cinnamon Sugar:

1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups mashed overripe bananas (about 4-5 bananas)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 1 pound loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and the cinnamon.
1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt
In another bowl, beat the butter and the sugar until fully combined. Mix in the eggs.
1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs
Add the bananas and the vanilla and mix until combined. Mix in the dry ingredients.
2 cups mashed overripe bananas, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pour half of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar, only making 3-4 swipes.
Pour the remaining batter over the top, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top of the loaf. Make another 3-4 swipes, dragging the knife through only the top inch.
Bake until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Let the bread cool before removing from the pan and cutting into slices.
