Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread with Pecan Praline Glaze
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl.
-
Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Swirl the mixture into the batter using a knife or skewer. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
-
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, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
To make the pecan praline glaze, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
-
Drizzle the pecan praline glaze over the cooled banana bread. Slice and serve.
