Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed Make sure bananas are very ripe for optimal sweetness.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 pieces eggs Can be replaced with unsweetened applesauce or flaxseed meal.
  • 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 Adjust according to taste.
  • ¼ cup milk
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.
  4. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Add the topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Serving
  1. Serve the Snickerdoodle Banana Bread warm or at room temperature. It’s delicious on its own, but you can also add a little butter or cream cheese for extra flavor. For an indulgent treat, try serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

To keep your Snickerdoodle Banana Bread fresh, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store it at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage up to 3 months. For flavor variations, consider adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits.
