Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 medium ripe bananas Use bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Feel free to substitute half with whole wheat for a wholesome twist.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar You can opt for honey or maple syrup for a lighter touch.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Enhances moisture and adds depth to the flavor profile.
  • 1 tsp baking soda Acts as a leavening agent to keep your loaf light and fluffy.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Just a pinch balances the sweetness and elevates flavors beautifully.
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon Key to the signature snickerdoodle flavor; don’t skip this!
  • 2 large eggs Provide richness; for a vegan version, use flax eggs as a perfect substitute.
  • 1/2 cup butter Adds moisture and flavor; consider using a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/4 cup milk Provides moisture; non-dairy options like almond or oat milk work well too.
  • 1/4 cup sugar for topping Optional but highly recommended for that added crunch and sweetness on top.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Snickerdoodle Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas until smooth with a few small lumps remaining in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk until fully combined.
  4. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in another bowl.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
  6. Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and pour the banana bread batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon-sugar topping over the surface of the batter if desired.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
