  • Mixing Bowls
  • whisk
  • rubber spatula
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Banana Bread

  • 1.5 cups ripe and mashed banana about 3 large bananas
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup sour cream

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line a 9×5 loaf pan. Place a strip of parchment paper along the width of the pan so it’s easy to lift out once baked.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, sugars and butter until well combined.
  • Whisk in the eggs, vanilla and sour cream.
  • Pour in the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to fold to combine.
  • Off to the side in a small dish, combine the cinnamon sugar.
  • Pour ½ of the banana bread batter into the pan and spread it even. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar on top then spoon the remaining batter on top. Spread it even and sprinkle on the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. The loaf should appear puffed with a golden sugar crust and large cracks on the surface.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes then lift it out and slice. It’s best to serve warm, but it’s delicious at any temperature! Enjoy!

Notes

This banana bread is best enjoyed warm, but it can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
