Description
A delicious banana bread with a cinnamon swirl and crumbly topping, perfect for breakfast or snack time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar (for crumb topping)
- ¼ cup oat flour or regular flour (for crumb topping)
- 2 tablespoons cold butter (cubed, for crumb topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, then stir in the melted butter.
- Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then mix in the flour until just incorporated.
- Combine the brown sugar, oat flour, cinnamon, and cubed butter in a separate bowl, mixing until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour half of the banana batter into the pan, sprinkle half of the crumb topping, then add the remaining batter.
- Swirl a knife through the batter to create a marbled effect, then top with the remaining crumb mixture.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding walnuts or chocolate chips. Serve warm with butter or ice cream.
