Cinnamon Crumble Banana Bread

One of my favorite things to make is banana bread. Why? Because it means no banana will go to waste and you only need a few ingredients to make it! All of which are usually pre stocked in most pantries. Adding the cinnamon crumble is a great addition, because who doesn't like sweetness?

Serves 8 to 10

INGREDIENTS:

BANANA BREAD
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1⅛ cup sugar
½ cup vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons buttermilk or milk
½ teaspoon vanilla
3 bananas mashed very well
1 cup chocolate chips (optional - but you really should)
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

CINNAMON CRUMBLE
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Add flour, baking soda and salt to a small bowl and set aside.

3. Mix egg, sugar and oil and stir until well combined

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir well. The mixture will be thick and dry.

5. Next add milk, vanilla and bananas and stir until incorporated. Mix in chocolate chips and walnuts.

6. Make your crumble by mixing together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. (Best if you use your fingers or a fork. Nothing electric.)

7. Pour HALF the batter into your loaf pan. Add HALF the crumble on top of the batter. Add the rest of the batter on top and finish it off with the remaining crumble on top.

8. Cook 50-75 minutes, checking regularly until a knife comes out clean.
