TOTAL TIME:
1 hour 10 mins
YIELD:
1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup mashed bananas
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 Tbsp cold butter (cut into small pieces)
INSTRUCTIONS

Bread

  1. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
  2. Cream butter. Add sugar and cream until fluffy.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time.
  4. Add in banana and mix until combined.
  5. Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.

Crumble

  1. Mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and pecans.
  2. Add in cold butter and work together with the mixture by using your hands. You want to make sure you have some chunky pieces at the end.
  3. Sprinkle crumble on top of the bread mixture in loaf pan.
  4. Bake at 325 for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Rotate the loaf halfway through bake time. The crumble should be golden brown and a toothpick, when inserted in the middle of the loaf, should come out clean.

* NOTES

Overview

I added some fall flair to my beloved banana bread and oh.. my.. gosh. This is too good.

The crumble just adds the perfect hint of crunch and sweetness. You could even add a dash of nutmeg to make this even more fall inspired.

With this bread, unlike the original banana bread recipe, I bake it at a lower temp for a little longer so that the crumble doesn't burn.

Let's just say, as with most of what I bake around here, this did not last too long in my house.
