Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth and mix with 0.5 cup granulated sugar, 0.25 cup brown sugar, 0.5 cup melted butter, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt over the wet mixture, then fold in 1.75 cups all-purpose flour until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix 0.25 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar on top.
- Gently swirl with a knife or skewer to create marbling in the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and let it set before slicing.

Notes
Ensure bananas are overly ripe for the best flavor, and avoid overmixing to maintain a fluffy texture.
