Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
- Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter.
- Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture and mix until combined.
- Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the batter, then fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl to make the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Pour half of the banana batter into the loaf pan and smooth it out.
- Sprinkle three-quarters of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the first layer of batter.
- Carefully spoon the rest of the banana batter on top of the cinnamon-sugar layer.
- Use a knife or skewer to create a swirl in the batter.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Overripe bananas yield the best flavor and moisture. Customize with nuts or chocolate chips.
