  2. Combine the mashed ripe bananas, melted butter, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla in a bowl.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually mix into the banana mixture.
  4. Mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  5. Layer half of the batter in the pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture, add the rest of the batter, and top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
  6. Gently swirl the cinnamon through the batter using a knife.
