  3. Stir melted butter into the bananas, then add baking soda and salt, mixing until combined.
  4. Mix in granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold in all-purpose flour until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the swirl.
  7. Pour half of the banana batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture.
  8. Pour the remaining banana batter over the swirl and add the last portion of cinnamon mixture on top.
