Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon-sugar swirl)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon-sugar swirl)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the cinnamon-sugar swirl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 3/4 cup sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and sour cream until combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  • Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar swirl over the batter.
  • Add the remaining batter, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar swirl on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture into the batter.
  • In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the snickerdoodle topping. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
