Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Sprinkle in baking soda and salt, then fold in flour until just combined.
  4. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  6. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
  7. Gently swirl the knife through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk for the glaze.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before slicing.
