Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it with butter.
  2. Mash the very ripe bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the melted butter, then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
  4. Sprinkle in baking soda and salt, folding gently, then gradually add the flour until just combined.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  6. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan, dollop cinnamon filling over it, then pour remaining batter.
  7. Create a swirl pattern through the batter with a knife to maintain distinct layers.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  10. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt for the glaze until smooth.
  11. Once the bread is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve.
