A cozy and moist banana bread with a gooey cinnamon sugar swirl inspired by cinnamon rolls, perfect for quick baking and comforting treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and melted butter for the cinnamon sugar swirl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with a few small lumps. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk gently until combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions. Fold gently with a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour half the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the cinnamon sugar swirl mixture in spoonfuls over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter in a figure-eight motion. Repeat with the remaining batter and swirl mixture.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes. Start checking at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Tent with foil after 40 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Dollop the cinnamon sugar swirl and gently swirl with a knife in a figure-eight motion to keep distinct pockets of cinnamon sugar. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Bananas can be microwaved for 30 seconds to speed ripening if needed.
