Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Add flour and baking soda to the mixture; fold in mashed bananas until just combined.
For the cinnamon swirl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until thick.
Layer the batter and cinnamon mixture in the prepared pan, swirling them together with a knife.
Bake for 60–70 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
