- Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle any remaining sugar on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ripe Bananas: Use ripe bananas for a sweeter taste and smoother texture in
the bread. Banana bread can stay fresh at room temperature for three days, if stored in a cool dry place. You can try one of a few different methods for storage: Plastic wrap and an airtight container. Wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap, and store it in an airtight container. If you love a crisp cinnamon-sugar topping, make extra cinnamon-sugar and put it on the top before baking. You can't go wrong!
