Classic Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread
  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the ⅓ cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the swirl. Set aside.

  3. Prepare Banana Bread Batter: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Then add the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the flour, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. Layer the Batter and Swirl Mixture: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the surface. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter, creating a marbled effect.

  5. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
