Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 medium Overripe Bananas Use bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Adds depth of flavor; substitute with coconut sugar for a different twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon This key ingredient gives warmth and aromatic goodness.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Opt for a gluten-free blend if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Infuses richness; Greek yogurt is a great healthier alternative.
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for binding and creating a light, fluffy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensures the loaf rises beautifully.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Elevates all the flavors; kosher or sea salt work best.
  • Optional Nuts/Chocolate Chips Add for delightful texture and flavor; consider walnuts or dark chocolate.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until completely smooth.
  3. Pour in the melted butter and whisk in the eggs and brown sugar until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly incorporated.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula.
  6. Spread half of your batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, then repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar.
  7. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl through the batter to create distinct cinnamon pockets.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
