Whew! That is some title. The peanut butter topping on this is outstanding. My bananas were very sweet and ripe, so I was able to get away with less sugar in the batter (I used the full amount in the topping though). From Southern Living.

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 bananas
1/2 c butter, softened (1 stick)
1 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt (preferably nature's first)
2 eggs
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 c walnuts, chopped
TOPPING
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold
3/4 c flour
6 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325.
  • 2. In large mixing bowl mash bananas with a potato masher (or a fork if you don't have a masher). Add in the butter, sugar, salt and eggs; fully incorporate after each ingredient addition.
  • 3. In small bowl blend the flour and baking soda. Add to the wet mixture and beat until just about blended, still a little dry parts showing.
  • 4. Add walnuts and finish mixing. Divide batter into 2 8 inch loaf pans and set aside.
  • 5. Wipe out the bowl used for the flour mixture...Place all topping ingredients and mix well. You can use two knives, a fork or a pastry blender. I prefer to use my hands to fully mix everything up.
  • 6. Dived topping and crumble the topping over the batter and pat down slightly, cover whole loaf.
  • 7. Bake for 1 hour. Do not over bake. Check for done-ness with a toothpick at center at 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: The bread can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This classic banana nut streusel bread recipe is easy to follow and produces a delicious, moist, and flavorful loaf of bread. With its sweet banana flavor, crunchy nuts, and buttery streusel topping, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
