While It is satisfying to good chocolate-chip or nut-studded banana bread, nothing compares to adding a cinnamon swirl and crunchy streusel on top! This bread is moist, cinnamon-y, and has a sweet, fruity smell. Cinnamon is a great complementary flavor to bananas—you’ll love it!

This particular recipe doesn’t have a high rise or a light texture; it’s very much a moist, dense hearty quick-bread loaf.

Quick Tip

To quickly ripen bananas, bake them on a lined tray at 350°F for 6-12 minutes until the skins turn black.
