Description

This Snickerdoodle Banana Bread combines the warm cinnamon and sugar classic snickerdoodle flavors with moist banana bread, creating a deliciously soft and flavorful treat perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Add Sugar to Wet Mixture: Stir the 1 cup of granulated sugar into the wet mixture until well incorporated to provide sweetness throughout the bread.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening agent and spices.
  5. Fold Dry into Wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  7. Prepare and Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the batter for a snickerdoodle-inspired crust.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  9. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding dry ingredients to avoid tough bread.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, greasing the pan thoroughly will prevent sticking.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Store leftover banana bread wrapped in plastic or sealed container to keep it moist.
