Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread 🍌🤎 Banana Bread Batter • 3 ripe bananas (300–360 g) • 5 tablespoons melted butter (70 g) • 1 egg (50 g) • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (60 g) • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 g) • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g) • 1 teaspoon baking soda (5 g) • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (3 g) • Dash of salt (1–2 g) • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (156 g) • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste Cinnamon Middle Layer • 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (19–20 g) • 1/3 cup brown sugar (67 g) • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (5–6 g) Cinnamon Swirl Topping • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (50 g) • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28 g) • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (8 g) • 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream (22.5 ml) • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5 ml) Small Buttercream Frosting Ingredients: * 1 tbsp butter, softened * 1 cup powdered sugar * ½ tsp vanilla extract * 1–2 tbsp heavy whipping cream Instructions Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the melted butter and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and whisk until combined. Mix in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Add the baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and flour, then gently fold everything together just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the cinnamon middle layer until crumbly. Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter. Spread the remaining batter on top. To make the cinnamon swirl topping, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until combined. Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then drizzle it over the banana bread batter. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the top layer. Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil. Let the bread cool in the pan before slicing. Enjoy your cinnamon roll banana bread! 🍌🤎#cinnamonroll #bananabread #baking #recipes #bananabreadrecipe - @cheff.omi
