Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 120 grams unsalted butter

• 60 milliliters milk
• 25 grams granulated sugar (for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Melt the butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour in the milk and fold it into the batter until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Evenly sprinkle the mixture over the batter in the loaf pan.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice and serve your cinnamon sugar banana bread as is, or with butter or cream cheese for an extra indulgent treat.
