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.

Ingredients

Bread

• 1 egg
• 1 c. sugar
• 1/2 c. unsalted butter (room temp)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 c. buttermilk or sour cream
• 2 overripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 c. all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Crumb Topping

• 1/2 c. powdered sugar
• 1/2 c. all purpose flour
• 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• pinch of salt

Instructions

• In a large bowl of a mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the sugar, egg and vanilla until combined. Add the butter and beat until smooth and the butter is fully incorporated. Beat in the buttermilk and bananas.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet until all the flour is incorporated. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray and pour in the batter. 
• Make the crumb topping by combining the powdered sugar, flour, cinnamon salt and melted butter. Using your hands, crumble the mixture over the batter in the pan. 
• Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 – 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
