Cinnamon Swirl

  • Mix together all the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl in a small bowl with a fork or spoon until fully combined.

Assemble and Bake

  • Pour ¼ the banana bread mix into your prepared loaf tin, spreading it out evenly, then dollop on ¼ of the cinnamon swirl mix and swirl it through with a knife.
  • Repeat this with the remaining batter to make 3 more layers, finishing with the cinnamon swirl on the top.
  • Bake for 50-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool in the tin for about 1 hour, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!
