Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed Make sure bananas are very ripe for extra moisture.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour for variation.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup milk
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adjust according to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until they are smooth.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until it is just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. For the topping, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Once done, let the bread rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool.
Serving
  1. Snickerdoodle Banana Bread is delicious when served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain or spread a little butter on each slice.

Notes

For extra moisture, ensure bananas are very ripe with plenty of brown spots. You can add nuts or chocolate chips if desired. Avoid overmixing for a softer loaf. Adjust the cinnamon topping to your liking. Wrapped tightly, it can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
