Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread

I found this recipe for cinnamon swirl banana bread and had to give it a try. It turned out to be really tasty and wasn't nearly as caloric as I thought it would be. It's by no means a healthy treat, but I have no regrets after eating it either. I didn't grab a pretty picture of it before the family tore into it, so this is what I have.

Ingredients

For the bread you will need:

• Three ripe bananas
• 1 1/2 C flour
• 3/4 C sugar
• 1/3 C melted butter
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 dash of salt

For the cinnamon swirl, you will need:

• 1/3 C sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 then coat your pan in butter and flour. I don't have a loaf pan anymore, so I just used a smaller casserole dish. 

Mash your bananas with a fork, then add in your sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix them together with a blender. You could probably do this by hand if you wanted, but using beaters would be a heck of a lot easier. Add your salt and baking soda then stir in the flour.

In a separate small bowl, mix together your cinnamon and sugar. 

Pour half your banana batter into the pan then sprinkle half of your cinnamon sugar blend on top. Add in the remaining banana batter and repeat the cinnamon sugar topping. 

For my pan, I only needed to bake it for 50 minutes. Deeper pans may require more cook time.
