Swirl Banana Bread

Sunday, August 4, 2013

When you have a couple of bananas squatted on your counter getting over ripe, what is the first thing you think about making? Banana baked bread of course. We love banana bread round here. I have made a couple of distinct types of banana baked bread over the years. Our favorite is peanut butter banana baked bread and chocolate banana baked bread, then I ran across this recipe for cinnamon swirl banana baked bread. Oh my gosh, this baked bread is right up there with our favorites.

There is a swirl of cinnamon running 
throughthis bread and a crunchy cinnamon
sugar 
topping that is heaven. It smells wonderful as
it is cooking and flavours even better still moderately hot out of the oven with a slathering of dairy spread.
