Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just incorporated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar with the tablespoon of cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar, then add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzle over cooled banana bread.

Notes
Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy bread.
