2 cups (400g) packed light brown sugar

3 chopped ripe bananas

4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, then mix in yeast, warm milk, and melted butter. Slowly stir in the salt and flour to create a sticky dough.
02 -
Put dough into a greased bowl. Cover and leave it to rise until it doubles in size, about 60 minutes.
03 -
On a floured countertop, divide the dough evenly into 20 pieces, about 40g each. Shape each piece into a ball about the size of a golf ball.
04 -
Combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Toss the dough balls generously in the mixture.
05 -
Grease a 10-inch bundt pan. Add alternating layers of coated dough balls and chopped bananas, dividing into three sections. Drizzle leftover butter mixture on top.
06 -
Cover with a plastic wrap sprayed with oil. Let the bread rise again until it’s puffy and doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
07 -
Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, until the bread’s internal temperature hits 190°F. Cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate.
