Holiday Cinnamon Banana Bread
This banana bread is perfect during the holiday season. I love to make a few loaves and eat them throughout the week for a breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups ripe mashed bananas (about three large)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Mix
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a bread pan and set aside.
- Using either a mixer or hand mixer, mix the butter, sugar and brown sugar together until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add mashed bananas and stir in gently until mixed.
- In a separate bowl, combined flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until evenly combined. Don't overmix.
- Add a third of the batter to the pan and sprinkle a third of the cinnamon sugar on top. Repeat all three layers. Top bread with cinnamon sugar before baking.
- Bake for 55- 65 minutes. Cover banana bread with foil for the last 15 minutes if banana bread becomes too dark.
- Remove and let cool in the pan for ten minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Banana bread can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days.
