Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs, mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl.
- Pour half of the batter into the pan, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add the remaining batter and swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the pan for about 1 hour, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare icing and drizzle over cooled bread using a spoon or piping bag.

Notes
Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense loaf.
