Method
Prepare the Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
Make the Cinnamon Swirl
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Pour half of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
- Add the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
Bake the Bread
- Using a knife or skewer, swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled banana bread.

Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas. Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
