Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted until browned
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (Full-fat works best)
  • 3 medium VERY RIPE bananas, smashed

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F) (175 degrees C).
  • Generously grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars, beat until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the butter mixture until smooth. Fold in the sour cream and mashed bananas; don;t over mix.
  • Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl, then sprinkle half of it over the batter. Add the remaining batter to the pan, and top with remaining cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into slices and serve.
