Full Recipe:

Ingredients (Serves 8–10)

For the Bread:

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ cup milk
  
  

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

6. Assemble the Loaf: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter and top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.

7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
