Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  4. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to retain a tender crumb.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter thoroughly to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  6. Layer Batter and Swirl: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter. Repeat this layering process with the remaining batter and cinnamon mixture.
  7. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean when ready.
  8. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which will help set the texture and make glazing easier.
  9. Make and Drizzle Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk (starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more if needed for desired consistency), and vanilla extract. Drizzle this glaze over the cooled banana bread before serving for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • For extra texture and flavor, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter before baking.
  • If you prefer a sweeter glaze, double the glaze ingredients for a more generous drizzle.
  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moist texture in the bread.
