Fluffy Cinnamon Banana Bread Recipe
If you love classic banana bread but crave a lighter, fluffier texture, this Cinnamon Yeast Banana Bread is your new go-to! Soft, airy, and bursting with banana flavor and warm cinnamon spice, it’s the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy snack.
Why This Banana Bread Stands Out
Unlike traditional quick breads, this version uses yeast for a tender, pillowy crumb. Add a cinnamon honey swirl or some chopped nuts, and it’s practically irresistible.
Serving Ideas
- Serve warm with butter or cream cheese
- Toast for breakfast with honey or jam
- Pair with coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon
Pro Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
- Don’t overknead after adding flour to keep a soft crumb.
- Nuts or chocolate chips add extra indulgence.
Fluffy, fragrant, and slightly sweet, this Cinnamon Yeast Banana Bread is a game-changer. Once you try it, regular banana bread will feel ordinary!
