- 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.
- Spread half of the banana mixture into the greased baking dish, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
- Add chopped nuts if desired.
Baking

Notes
Don't overmix the batter to avoid dense rolls. It's ideal to serve warm, not scorching. Perfect for overripe bananas.
