Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 large ripe bananas Ensure they are very ripe for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • 1/3 cup butter Creates a rich texture; substitute with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 large eggs Binds ingredients together; can be replaced with flax eggs for a vegan version.
  • 1/2 cup milk Adds moisture; both dairy and oat milk work beautifully.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour The backbone for structure; consider half whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
  • 1 cup white sugar Contributes sweetness and helps with browning.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Adds depth of flavor and moisture to your bread.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Serves as a leavening agent for the perfect rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon Essential for that classic snickerdoodle taste; use generously!
For the Topping
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Combine with cinnamon for a crunchy finish on top.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon A delightful complement to your loaf.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in mashed ripe bananas and milk until smooth.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, folding until no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Mix together a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it over the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
