Banana Bread Crumb Cake

A delicious twist on classic banana bread featuring a buttery, crunchy crumb topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
  3. Add the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, softened butter) to the mashed bananas and mix.
  4. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt).
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Do not over-mix; lumpy batter is okay.
  6. For the crumb topping, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together until chunky crumbs form.
  7. Pour the banana batter into a greased pan, sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas. The crumb can be rustic; perfection is not required.
