Description
A delightful twist on classic banana bread, this Snickerdoodle Banana Bread is infused with warm spices and topped with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan with grease and flour or parchment paper.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl and then add granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Mix the topping ingredients together and sprinkle them over the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness. Allow bread to cool completely before slicing.
