Cinnamon Crumb Banana Bread

This Cinnamon Crumb Banana Bread is the perfect combination of moist banana bread and a crumbly coffee cake topping. It is a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients 

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 2 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Crumb Topping:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon 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. * Note that not all loaf pans are the same size. You may have extra batter, so just pour in enough so there is still about an inch or 2 of space before the top of the pan.
  • 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.

Notes

  • FOR MUFFINS:
    • Divide batter  and topping between muffin tins, spacing them out every other. Fill each cup up all the way.
    • Bake at 425 for 7 minutes then reduce the heat to 350 and continue cooking for about 17 more minutes.
