Name: Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1 cup brown sugar; 7 very ripe bananas, mashed; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 4 eggs; 3 cups flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 teaspoons baking soda; 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon (approximate); 3 tablespoons sugar (for sprinkling)

Servings: persons

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
7 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon (approximate)
3 tablespoons sugar (for sprinkling)

1
Grease and flour two 9x5 loaf pans. Set aside.
2
Mash bananas with vanilla in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3
Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in another medium bowl. Set aside.
4
Cream the butter and sugars. Beat on high 3-5 minutes, until very light and fluffy.
5
Add one egg at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
6
Alternate adding banana mixture and flour mixture (about three additions each).
7
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.
8
Sprinkle each loaf with sugar (it will bake into a crunchy, sweet crust).
9
Bake at 350F 45-60 minutes, until a knife inserted in middle comes out clean.
