Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the banana mixture. Then, add the flour, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzly. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
