CINNAMON CRUNCH BANANA BREAD



Cinnamon Crunch Banana Bread image

This easy cake - no mixer required - is a popular staple at Bakesale Betty in Oakland, Calif. Pie, cake, cookies and a legendary fried chicken sandwich are the only things on the menu, but locals start lining up long before opening time. They're that good. Betty herself, the baker Alison Barkat, adds a cinnamon-sugar topping and honey to the classic banana bread formula for a deeply caramelized, moist result.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 (9-by-5-inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

Unsalted butter, for greasing
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (from 2 to 3 medium bananas)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters warm water
1/4 cup/55 grams brown sugar, preferably light brown or Demerara sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment or wax paper, leaving enough paper hanging over the sides to lift the cake out after baking. (This will prevent the topping from breaking when removing the bread from the pan.)
  • Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using a sturdy whisk, beat together oil, eggs and honey until smooth. Stir in bananas and warm water. Add dry ingredients to egg-oil mixture and stir to blend. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon, using your fingers to break up any lumps. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
  • Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, checking after 50 minutes. If topping shows signs of burning, reduce heat to 325 degrees.
  • Remove to a rack and let cool in pan for 30 minutes. Use the edges of the paper to lift the cake up and out. Place on a rack (leave the paper on) and let cool before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamier texture, use overripe bananas.
  • If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can use crushed vanilla wafers or chocolate cookies.
  • To make the crunch topping, you can use any type of cereal you like. Granola or chopped nuts would also be a great addition.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can use a loaf pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • These no-bake banana crunch minis are best served chilled. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These no-bake banana crunch minis are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up overripe bananas, and they are sure to be a hit with people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these no-bake banana crunch minis a try. You won't be disappointed!
