Description

Discover the irresistible Snickerdoodle Banana Bread Recipe—a moist, cinnamon-spiced banana bread topped with crunchy snickerdoodle coating. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a sweet treat, this easy quick bread combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with warm cinnamon and sugary topping for a delightful baking experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the snickerdoodle topping:
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the snickerdoodle topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optionally, add additional cinnamon-sugar topping or drizzle with cinnamon glaze for extra flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of peanut butter.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
