Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar for topping
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the tablespoon of milk to help ensure the batter stays moist.
Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cinnamon-topped banana bread for a delightful treat!
