Directions

  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth, then mix in the melted butter.
  3. Stir in the baking soda and salt, followed by granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold in the flour until just mixed to maintain a moist crumb.
  5. Mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl for the cinnamon swirl.
  6. Layer half of the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mix, then add the remaining batter and finish with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  7. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
