📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, mixing until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

8. To make the streusel topping, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a fork or your hands to mix until crumbly.

9. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the banana bread batter.

10. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

11. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
