Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread Recipe 425

Steps:

• Grease and flour two 9x5 loaf pans. Set aside.
• Mash bananas with vanilla in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in another medium bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugars. Beat on high 3-5 minutes, until very light and fluffy.
• Add one egg at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
• Alternate adding banana mixture and flour mixture (about three additions each).
• Fill each loaf pan in 3 layers; after each layer, sprinkle on cinnamon. When loaf pans are full, use a toothpick or skewer to swirl cinnamon (do not overmix or the swirls will not be apparent). It is not necessary to use all of the cinnamon; use only as much as is desired.
• Sprinkle each loaf with sugar (it will bake into a crunchy, sweet crust).
• Bake at 350F 45-60 minutes, until a knife inserted in middle comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Butter and flour a 9 x 5 loaf pan.
• Mix bananas, butter, sugar, egg and vanilla together. Sprinkle baking soda and salt around on top of the banana mixture. Then gently stir in flour. Be careful not to over-mix!
• In a small dish, mix together the 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon.
• Add 1/2 of the batter to the loaf pan and then sprinkle a little more then half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the rest of the batter and then sprinkle the leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
