Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana

For the swirl:
3 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the melted butter. Whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour and baking soda. Fold in the mashed bananas until just combined.

Step 3

Make the swirl. In a small bowl, add the butter, sugars, and cinnamon. Use a fork to mix the cinnamon sugar swirl ingredients until thick and well combined.

Step 4

Add 1 cup of the batter to the prepared pan. Dollop 1 tbsp of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in the pan and then make a swirl through the batter with a table knife. Repeat layers until done.

Step 5

Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
