Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pcs ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pcs eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.25 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts and rolled oats for an added crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your Banana Crunch Bread with a cup of coffee or tea!
