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

1. 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.

2. 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. 

3. 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. 

4. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 – 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
