Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth but slightly chunky.
Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in another bowl until fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the swirl; pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over it, then add remaining batter and swirl in remaining cinnamon mixture with a knife.
Bake for about 60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool for ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
