Crumble Top Banana Bread
This Crumble Top Banana Bread is just what I needed to mix up my banana bread last week. I get so used to making the same banana bread every time we have overripe bananas, I wanted to make something a little different this time. I got the recipe from Little Bits Of – it was the first crumble top banana bread I’d found with really big crumbles. I baked some up right away and was so glad I did! That amazing crumble is life changing. It takes the banana bread to another level.
