Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth and creamy. Mix in the melted butter until combined.
  3. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, then mix in the all-purpose flour until just incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and additional sugar for the swirl mixture.
  6. Pour half of the banana bread batter into the greased loaf pan. Sprinkle three-quarters of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it.
  7. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, smoothing it out.
  8. Using a butter knife, gently create a swirl through the layers of batter in the pan.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  11. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
