I love bananas, but Josh is not a fan. I buy a bunch with good intentions, but I can never eat them fast enough. I don’t really mind though, because when they go brown that means I have an excuse to bake:)

I usually make my banana cinnamon chip cake because everyone loves it, but this time I went back to the old fashion banana bread. Banana bread is a classic, there is just something comforting about it. I love the way it smells up the house and of course I enjoy eating it too!

This is an easy recipe that everyone will love. I added a cinnamon sugar topping to make it a little extra special. If you have friends, family, or neighbors to bake for, don’t forget about the good old fashioned banana bread. It is always a winner.

Banana Bread with a Cinnamon Sugar Topping

Adapted fromBrown Eyed Baker

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 medium bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk

Cinnamon and Sugar-for the topping
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl to combine. Set aside.

On medium speed, beat the sugar and vegetable oil to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each until combined. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat to combine. Alternatively add the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat just until the flour is incorporated and finish mixing with a spatula.

Spread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping evenly over the batter. Bake until a thin knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean, about 60 minutes.
Cool the cake on a wire rack for for ten minutes. Remove loaf from pan and let cool…or eat it warm. That is the best:)

  1. I so love banana bread and have the best recipe on my blog too … somewhere … in the last 5 years of blogging! ha! Happy banana day, Josh and Maria!

  2. I am really enjoying the theme/design of your web
    site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems?
    A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
    Do you have any recommendations to help fix
    this problem?

  3. First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that
    I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear
    your thoughts before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!

  4. I’m gone to inform my little brother, that he should also pay a visit this webpage on regular basis to get updated from most up-to-date gossip.

  5. I’d like to print this recipe, but I’m having difficulty getting rid of all the ads. What do you recommend?
