Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup milk

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious cinnamon sugar banana bread with your family!
