Ingredients
  

For the Batter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until they’re completely smooth.
  3. Combine the melted butter with the mashed bananas, mixing until well blended.
  4. Stir in granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
  5. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, gently folding them in.
  6. Add the all-purpose flour gradually, stirring until just combined.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon swirl by combining cinnamon and granulated sugar in a separate bowl.
  8. Layer half the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with half the cinnamon mixture, then top with remaining batter and last of the cinnamon mix; swirl gently with a knife.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
