Ingredients
Scale
3 large ripe bananas (or frozen bananas, thawed)
2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
¾ cup sugar (or honey/maple syrup as a substitute)
2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
1 teaspoon baking soda (or baking powder, increased to 1.5 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or nutmeg/pumpkin spice)
½ teaspoon salt (or sea salt/Himalayan salt)
½ cup melted butter (or coconut oil/applesauce for a lighter option)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. This should yield about 1.5 cups of banana puree.
Add melted butter or oil to the banana mixture and stir until combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry mix to the banana mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
For the cinnamon swirl, mix an additional tablespoon of sugar with a sprinkle of cinnamon in a small bowl. Set it aside.
Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
Layer the rest of the batter on top, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mix over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
