For the Banana Bread |
For the Cinnamon Swirl |
| 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour | 1/3 cup granulated sugar |
| 1 teaspoon baking soda | 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
| 1/4 teaspoon salt | |
| 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened | |
| 1 cup granulated sugar | |
| 2 large eggs | |
| 1/4 cup sour cream | |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract | |
| 3 ripe bananas, mashed |
1. Prep
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Creaming Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Mix in the mashed bananas.
4. Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated.
5. Cinnamon Swirl Mixture
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the swirl.
6. Assemble
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
7. Bake
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
