This Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread combines the moist, sweet flavors of ripe bananas with a cinnamon brown sugar swirl, creating a deliciously rich and fragrant quick bread perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Bread Batter

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the banana bread batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, sugar, eggs, melted butter, baking soda, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth but do not overmix.
  2. Make the cinnamon swirl: In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until fully combined to form a cinnamon sugar paste.
  3. Layer the batter and cinnamon swirl: Pour half of the banana bread batter into a greased loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter, then spread gently. Add the remaining batter over the top, followed by the remaining cinnamon swirl. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
  4. Bake the banana bread: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • Adjust cinnamon swirl amount for more or less pronounced swirl flavor.
  • Ensure not to overmix batter to keep bread tender.
  • Check baking progress after 60 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Room temperature eggs and melted butter help combine ingredients evenly.
