Snickerdoodle banana bread is a soft, moist twist on classic banana bread, featuring a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping inspired by the beloved cookie. It’s comforting, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast, dessert, or anytime snacking.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for extra moisture)
  • For the topping:
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, mash bananas and mix in melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream (if using).
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add chopped walnuts or cinnamon chips for extra texture.
  • Use browned butter for a richer, deeper flavor.
  • Try swirling extra cinnamon sugar into the batter before baking.
  • Can be made into muffins—bake for 18–22 minutes at 350°F.
  • Freezes well; slice before freezing for easy portions.
