Course Breakfast, Dessert
Servings 12 slices

Ingredients
  

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • 6 tbsp melted butter (85 g)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (200 g)
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup flour (40 g)

For the Banana Bread

  • 2 cups all purpose flour (250 g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup oil (120 ml)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 400 g ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/3 cup) (3-4 medium bananas)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350° F (180° C) and line an 8 or 9-inch loaf pan (6-8 cup or 2 lb) with parchment paper.
  • First, make the cinnamon filling. Melt the butter in a medium bowl, then use a fork to stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour. Set this aside.
  • Make the banana bread: next, in another medium bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg and stir together. In a third medium bowl, mash the bananas.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Once these are well combined, add the flour mixture, stirring only until it is incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  • Pour 1/3 of the banana bread batter into the pan. Take 1/3 of the cinnamon filling and break it into flat pieces, then layer it over the batter, nearly covering it. Repeat this layering twice more, ending by sprinkling the last 1/3 of the cinnmon filling on top.
  • Bake at 350° F (180° C) for about 1 hr or until a toothpick or chopstick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve with whipped cream cheese or peanut butter, and store at room temperature for no more than 3 days, or in the refrigerator for 4 days.
