Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of melted unsalted butter with 1 cup of brown sugar and beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Incorporate 2 large eggs into the creamed mixture, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Fold in 2 ripe, mashed bananas, ½ cup of milk, and ½ cup of Greek yogurt until just combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just mixed, being careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
- Pour half of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
- Pour the remaining banana batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the rest of the mixture on top and swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas and avoid overmixing the batter. Cool completely before slicing.
