A delightful twist on classic banana bread, combining ripe bananas with swirls of cinnamon and sugar for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
