Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cream together softened butter and sugar until smooth; incorporate eggs one at a time.
- Add mashed bananas, yogurt, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually fold in the dry mixture to the wet batter until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then add the remaining batter and the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mix, swirling with a knife.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes; check doneness with a toothpick.
- Cool in the pan for about 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and cream or milk until smooth for the icing.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled bread and serve.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness; avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and fluffy.
