Brown sugar cinnamon banana bread
Description
This banana bread starts by creaming room temperature butter with muscovado brown sugar until light and fluffy. Eggs are then added one at a time before folding in mashed ripe bananas and vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are sifted together before gently mixing into the wet batter, creating a balanced rise and tender texture.
The batter is poured into a greased and lined loaf pan, then sprinkled with a cinnamon and brown sugar topping. Baking at 180°C (350°F) for about 45 minutes creates a golden loaf with a cinnamon-sweet crust and moist interior. Cooling before slicing improves texture and serving quality.
