Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
  3. Cream together ½ cup of unsalted butter with ½ cup of granulated sugar and ¼ cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add two room temperature eggs, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  5. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Slowly add the dry mixture into the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
