Cinnamon swirl banana bread
This tasty, sweet and comforting banana bread is one of my favourite treats. It is a bit sweeter than other banana breads but is so delicious with a cup of hot earl grey tea. Ingredients
- BREAD
- 8 tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted, softened butter (room temp)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 4 or 5 overripe mashed bananas
- NOTE: I always keep overripe (peeled) bananas in a freezer bag the freezer to use in this recipe. I just thaw and use it. Bananas as always on hand this way.
- SWIRL MIXTURE
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3 tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a bread loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- With hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Fold in the mashed bananas gently.
- Pour one third of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Mix the swirl ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle with a third of the cinnamon, white sugar, brown sugar mixture over the top. Repeat this operation two more times. (You can swirl the first 2/3 mixture with a knife and then add the last 1/3) ending with the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Enjoy!
