Preparation

  3. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  4. Add baking soda and salt, stirring until blended.
  5. Mix in granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Gradually fold in all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the swirl.
  8. Scoop half of the banana batter into the greased loaf pan and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture.
  9. Top with remaining banana batter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-brown sugar; swirl gently with a knife.
  10. Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
