This moist, tender bread is packed with sweet banana flavor and topped with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar layer for the perfect finishing touch. Ideal for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, this easy-to-make loaf is a delicious way to use up overripe bananas!

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup milk
  • Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Mix wet ingredients: Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  • Whisk dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Combine mixtures: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Add topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Slice & enjoy!

Notes

  • Use extra-ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • Store at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
