I am a huge banana bread fan which is why I wanted to find a crazy good recipe for banana bread and I think this was a true winner! The flavor combined with the crumbly streusel topping makes this an amazing banana bread recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:

For the Bread:

• 3-4 ripe bananas mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 1/2 tbsp softened butter
• 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Spray a loaf baking dish with nonstick spray.
3. In medium bowl, combined mashed bananas, eggs, butter, and sugar.
4. Mix thoroughly and then add dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
5. Mix until combined then stir in chopped walnuts.
6. Pour batter into baking dish and set aside.
7. Mix together streusel topping by combining flour, butter, and sugar until crumbly. I softened the butter in the microwave to wear it was nearly melting to make it easier to mix in with my hands or a fork.
8. Sprinkle streusel right on top of batter as evenly as possible.
9. Bake for 1 hour. To ensure it is done, stick knife or toothpick down into the middle to ensure it is done and comes out batter free.
10. Allow to cool before slicing and then enjoy!
