Scale
Main Bread:
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cold butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually stir into wet mixture until just combined.
- Prepare streusel: Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Layer and bake: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with half of the streusel, add remaining batter, and finish with remaining streusel. Bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before slicing.
Notes
- This recipe is best with overripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture.
- For extra texture, stir chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter or streusel.
- Pairs perfectly with coffee or tea.
