  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4×8-inch loaf pan.

  4. Incorporate the flour until just combined.

  7. Add the remaining banana batter on top and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Swirl gently with a knife for the cinnamon swirl effect.
  9. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with butter or honey; pairs nicely with coffee or tea. For extra flavor, top with cream cheese spread.
