Cinnamon oat streusel banana bread

This twist on a classic banana bread recipe is exactly what you need with your coffee.

The banana bread recipe will fill your house with the scent of cinnamon, sugar and warmth. I often get bored making the same banana bread recipe over and over, so I like to switch it up once in a while.


This banana bread recipe comes together in one bowl, or when I'm extra lazy, in my blender! I'm not a fan of large banana chunks in my banana bread, so I love using a blender since it makes for the smoothest batter (and easy cleanup). The banana bread is moist and perfectly sweet and is delicious on its own. I decided to top this one with a streusel made of coconut sugar, oats, cinnamon and butter.






INGREDIENTS:

For the banana bread

  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

  • 2 very ripe large bananas or 3 medium bananas

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or yogurt)

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 cup oil (i like using melted coconut oil)

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1/2 cup walnuts for the topping

For the streusel topping

  • 1 tbsp melted butter

  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp flour

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp oats


Directions:


  1. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350F.

  2. In a large bowl, add in your ripe bananas and mash them.

  3. To the mashed bananas, add in the sour cream, eggs, oil and vanilla.

  4. Add your white and brown sugar. Mix until incorporated.

  5. Next, add in your flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until the batter comes together.

  6. Pour the batter into your loaf pan, and top with walnuts.

  7. In a separate bowl, melt the 1 tbsp of butter by microwaving for 20 seconds. If its not melted, microwave again for another 10 seconds.

  8. Into the melted butter, add in the 1 tbsp of flour, oats and coconut sugar.

  9. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more butter. If its too wet, add more flour. The mixture should be crumbly.

  10. Sprinkle the streusel topping on top of the batter.

  11. Bake for 45-60mins, or until a knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.


The banana bread keeps well in an air tight container for 3-4 days.
