Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor.
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Feel free to substitute some with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix the mashed bananas with melted butter until well combined.
  3. Stir in baking soda and salt.
  4. Add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in flour until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and brown sugar.
Baking
  1. Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it, then pour the remaining batter and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar on top.
  2. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon-sugar into the batter gently.
  3. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow to cool before slicing.

Notes

This banana bread can be enjoyed plain or with a spread of butter. You can also serve it warm with a drizzle of icing for an extra treat. Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for a week or freeze it for up to three months. Reheat in the oven when ready to eat.
