Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (192g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (about 3 large) mashed overripe bananas
- ½ cup buttermilk (or ½ cup sour cream)
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk (or sour cream), beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until it forms a thick paste.
- Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon swirl.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
