Ingredients
- Very Ripe Bananas
- All-Purpose Flour
- Granulated Sugar
- Unsalted Butter (Melted)
- Eggs
- Baking Soda
- Cream of Tartar
- Ground Cinnamon
- Vanilla Extract
- Salt
- Additional Granulated Sugar (for topping)
- Additional Ground Cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash your very ripe bananas until mostly smooth with just a few small lumps remaining.
- Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the wet banana mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together your additional granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the snickerdoodle topping.
- Pour about half of your banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle about half of your cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Add the remaining banana bread batter on top and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
- Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then carefully lift it out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
