Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Make the Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Crumble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
