Banana Streusel Loaf Recipes

STREUSEL-TOPPED BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• In small bowl, stir together Streusel ingredients except butter. Pinch pieces of butter into flour mixture until crumbly and looks like wet sand. Refrigerate.
• In large bowl, mix mashed bananas, melted and cooled butter, 1 cup sugar, the egg, milk and vanilla to combine. In another small bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, salt and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Fold banana mixture into flour mixture just until combined, taking care not to over mix. Spread batter in loaf pan, smoothing top. Sprinkle streusel evenly over top.
• Bake in center of oven about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on cooling rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool at least 15 minutes before slicing.

BANANA STREUSEL BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together 4 tablespoons (32 grams) flour, 2 tablespoons (28 grams) brown sugar, 2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar, and ¾ teaspoon (1.5 grams) cinnamon. Add butter; using your fingers or 2 forks, work butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs or slightly wet sand. Set streusel aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat banana, oil, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, remaining 1½ cups (330 grams) brown sugar, and remaining 1⅓ cups (267 grams) granulated sugar at medium-low speed until well combined, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together baking powder, baking soda, salt, cloves, nutmeg, remaining 3½ cups (438 grams) flour, and remaining 1 teaspoon (2 grams) cinnamon. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to banana mixture, beating until combined and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.
• Spray a 15-cup Nordic Ware Anniversary Bundt Pan with baking spray with flour. Pour batter into prepared pan. Tap pan on counter a few times to evenly spread batter and release any air bubbles.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with streusel, and bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking and loosely covering with foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
• Using a small offset spatula, loosen cake from center of pan. Slowly invert bread onto a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet. (Some streusel will fall off.) Using a large, flat plate or a cake lifter, turn bread streusel side up, and place on wire rack; let cool completely.

• Scoop the batter into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the top of each loaf with half the streusel topping.
