Instructions: Let's dive into the steps and secrets of creating this heavenly bread!

1. Sugar Meets Butter:

In a mixing bowl, combine the room temperature butter and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat them together for approximately 2 minutes until they form a creamy and luscious mixture.

3. Banana Bliss:

Now, add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and continue mixing until everything is well incorporated. Next, add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract, and blend until you have a smooth and heavenly banana mixture.

4. Flour Power:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet banana mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want our muffins to be tender and moist.

5. Cinnamon Swirl Magic:

Here comes the fun part! Scoop half of your bread batter into a lined bread pan, filling each cup about halfway. Now, in a small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon for your cinnamon swirl. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.

6. Double the Deliciousness:

Top the cinnamon-sugar layer with the remaining bread batter. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the tops of your bread, ensuring that the entire loaf gets a generous dusting.

7. Baking Brilliance:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your muffin pan in the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of cinnamon and banana will fill your kitchen as these muffins bake to golden perfection.

8. Enjoy Your Masterpiece:

Allow your Cinnamon-Swirl Banana Bread have cool for one hour before slicing into 12 equal pieces.

These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an anytime snack. They're a delightful way to make use of those ripe bananas that are begging to be transformed into something wonderful. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to embark on a cinnamon-spiced journey of flavor and joy. Your taste buds will thank you!

Enjoy your baking adventure, and don't forget to share your bread masterpiece with friends and family. Happy baking! 🍌🧁🤤
