Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Mix in granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon swirl ingredients: granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan; sprinkle half of the swirl mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and swirl mixture.
Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter for a marbled effect.
Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
