Ingredients
  

  • 3 large overripe bananas mashed
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp whole milk

Equipment

  • Loaf Pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Mix the mashed bananas and melted butter in a large bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Fold the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture gently just until the dry streaks disappear.
  3. Mash the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter together in a small bowl until it resembles wet sand to create the swirl filling.
  4. Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over it, then cover with the remaining batter.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 to 60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Cool completely before whisking the powdered sugar and milk together to drizzle over the top.

Notes

  • If the top gets too dark during baking, loosely cover the pan with foil for the last 15 minutes.
  • Store wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 4 days.
