Banana Cinnamon Chip Bread with Cinnamon Sugar Topping
Updated March 26, 2019
Happy Friday! What is on your weekend agenda? We are going to see Iron Man 2 tonight. Josh loves super hero movies and has been anxiously awaiting for this movie to come out. We loved the first one and hope the second is just as good. “I AM IRON MAN”-that song always gets stuck in my head:)
Now onto the bread. I’ve always enjoyed baking banana bread. It makes me feel domestic. I think it is the combination of using up brown bananas so nothing goes to waste and the inviting aroma the bread produces as it bakes. Banana bread is also the perfect gift to share with family, friends, and neighbors.
If you are a cinnamon fan, you will love this banana bread. It is similar to my banana cinnamon chip cake, but in bread form. I added cinnamon chips to the bread and sprinkled the bread with a cinnamon sugar topping. Eat a warm slice of bread with a dab of butter and indulge in banana cinnamon goodness.
I hope all the Mother’s out there have a fantastic Mother’s Day on Sunday. Here are a few brunch ideas:
Stuffed French Toast with Brie and Berries
Lemon Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Asparagus, Spinach, and Feta Cheese Frittata
Bruleed Steel Cut Oats
Rhubarb Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Mom’s- don’t do the cooking or the dishes. This is your day to be spoiled:)

Glad you enjoyed the bread!
Just out of curiousity, for the cinnamon sugar coating, do you use white sugar or brown sugar?
I used white sugar.
Made these as 36 mini muffuns (baked 30 min) to tuck in with cookies for holiday gifting. They rose to an elegant height – perfect little bite-sized morsels of bliss, Delicious!
