Banana Nut Bread Recipe Cinnamon

Every slice of this cinnamon swirl banana bread features a moist crumb, lots of banana flavor, and a thick ribbon of cinnamon sugar swirled through the center. Top with a simple vanilla icing to turn this quick bread into a delightful dessert-like treat.

You know I love a good cinnamon sugar swirl. (I mean, have you tried this homemade cinnamon swirl bread?? Put it on your Baking Bucket List!) While I also love a good crumb streusel topping, there’s just something extra special about slicing into a coffee cake or a chai cinnamon swirl Bundt cake and discovering a surprise-inside layer of cinnamon-sugar.

Reader Erin commented: “I normally make your ‘Best Ever Banana Bread‘ recipe, but decided to try something new yesterday—my family thanks you, Sally!!!! The loaf is gone. 2 teenage boys and my husband standing at the counter devouring this bread is quite the testament to how much flavor is in this bread. They all loved the cinnamon swirl in the middle—plus I sprinkled more on the top during baking. Everyone’s waiting for the bunch of bananas on our counter to ripen for the next loaf!!!! ★★★★★” What You’ll Love About This Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread

Extra Easy Banana Bread Recipe

Today’s recipe was originally published in 2012, and the predecessor of my original banana bread recipe. Because of the added richness and sweetness in the glaze and cinnamon-sugar ribbon, I don’t use quite as much sugar and butter in the bread itself. I usually receive a lot of questions about substitutions, so let me review some of the key ingredients you need and why.

The batter comes together easily. I usually use my electric mixer to mash bananas, but a fork or potato masher work too. Since this batter requires creamed butter and sugar, I usually mash up the bananas first, remove them from the bowl, then add the butter and sugar to cream. (I don’t even clean out the bowl—no need.)

You need 2 ingredients for the cinnamon swirl, and both are used in the banana bread batter: granulated sugar and cinnamon. I don’t use quite as much cinnamon swirl as my cinnamon swirl quick bread, and that’s mostly because there’s a lot of flavor in the banana bread itself. (The regular cinnamon swirl bread doesn’t have that other flavor, you know?)

To assemble the swirl, layer half of the banana batter into a greased loaf pan. There’s about 3 and 1/2 cups of batter. It doesn’t have to be perfect, so just eyeball the amount. Top with all of the cinnamon sugar. Gently spread the remaining batter on top. Using a knife, make a large swirl down the center of the pan. Avoid over-swirling because then you’ll wind up with cinnamon banana bread, minus a swirl.

After baking, cool the bread completely using the detailed recipe instructions below. After the bread cools, drizzle the entire loaf with vanilla icing.

The vanilla icing below is my regular vanilla icing recipe, only halved. You don’t need much. Grab some confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream or milk, and a little vanilla extract, and whisk it all together. Drizzle over the bread before serving. This is exactly how we top strawberry bread, too!

No, but it does provide a naturally sweeter banana flavor. You can use regular ripe bananas if that’s all you have – I’ve personally used regular ripe bananas many times and have had wonderful results. Another option would be to ripen them in the oven. Simply place your bananas on baking sheet in a 250°F oven for 10-20 minutes.
