Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
- Add melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until fully incorporated, then beat in the eggs and a splash of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until no floury bits remain.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon to create the swirl mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and layer with the remaining batter and the rest of the cinnamon mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas and avoid over-mixing to ensure a fluffy texture. Customize with your favorite mix-ins.
