Recipe:
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Cinnamon Streusel Topping (see below)
Cinnamon Streusel Topping:
* 1/2 cup rolled oats
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in chopped walnuts, if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Prepare the Cinnamon Streusel Topping by combining oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work it into the dry ingredients until a crumbly mixture forms.
9. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
10. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook Time: 50-55 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 70-75 minutes
Variations:
* Replace chopped walnuts with chopped pecans or hazelnuts for a different flavor profile.
* Add a sprinkle of sea salt to the streusel topping for a touch of savory flavor.
* Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a nutty, wholesome twist.
* Make individual-sized muffins by dividing the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups.
