Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for batter)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and 3/4 cup of sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas and milk until smooth. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stop mixing when you see no more streaks of flour.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the topping.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the batter. Gently spread the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar topping over the top layer.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best moisture and flavor in your banana bread.
  • For an extra cinnamon swirl, you can gently swirl a knife through the batter once in the pan before baking.
  • This bread stays moist for several days when stored tightly wrapped at room temperature.
