  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 loaves (approximately 2 servings each)

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 large ripe bananas, mashed

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch loaf pans thoroughly. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture generously into the bottoms of the prepared loaf pans, reserving some for topping the batter later.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter together with milk and 2 cups sugar until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, and kosher salt to the wet mixture. Mix gently just until all the dry ingredients are incorporated to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread dense.
  4. Fill Pans and Add Topping: Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared loaf pans over the cinnamon sugar bottom layer. Sprinkle the remaining reserved cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top of the batter in each pan to create a sweet crust after baking.
  5. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Store: Remove the pans from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store the banana bread in an airtight container for several days or wrap and freeze for later use.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moist texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar on top midway through baking.
  • Make sure to grease the pans well and line with cinnamon sugar to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  • Banana bread stores well at room temperature for about 3 days; refrigerate or freeze for longer storage.
