Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 80 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 20 grams Confectioners' sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully integrated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Stop mixing as soon as no dry streaks remain.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter.
Add the remaining batter to the pan, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top of the bread before slicing and serving.
