Cinnamon Banana Bread

We love ourselves a good loaf of banana bread around here!  Add some cinnamon and you have all kinds of goodness going on!  I found this recipe and just had to try it.  The smell was so heavenly while it was baking that I could hardly wait until it was done cooking to have a taste.  My family devoured this bread and so I am sure we will be making more again very soon! 

Cinnamon Banana Bread
Adapted from Lovin' From The Oven


3 over-ripe bananas, smashed up

1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
dash of salt
1 1/2 cups flour
For the swirl:
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbs cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour a loaf pan. Mine was 9 x 5, but you could use any sort, I suppose. Just keep a close eye on it in the oven, and adjust the time as needed.  Mix bananas, butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla together. sprinkle baking soda and salt around on top of the banana mixture. Then gently stir in flour. Be careful not to over-mix! In a small dish, mix together the 1/3 cup sugar and 1 Tbs cinnamon.  Add 1/2 of the batter to the loaf pan and then sprinkle half, or a little more than half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over the batter in the pan. Add the rest of the batter, and then sprinkle the leftover cinnamon-sugar on top.  Bake for 50-60 minutes, but remember, if you’re using a different-sized loaf pan, be careful and keep a close eyeball on it!
