Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and mashed ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir in sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently fold in all-purpose flour until no flour streaks remain.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine additional sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  6. Pour half of the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan.
  7. Sprinkle about three-quarters of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and level the surface.
  9. Gently swirl the batter with a butter knife in a figure-eight motion.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the batter.
  11. Bake for 50–60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  12. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
