Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Hand or stand mixer (optional)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Fork or potato masher
- Spatula
- Loaf pan (9×5 inch)
- Pastry cutter or fork (for crumb topping)
- Oven
Ingredients
For the Banana Bread:
- 1 cup ripe bananas mashed (approx. 2 large bananas)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
For the Cinnamon Crumb Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Fold in the sour cream or Greek yogurt. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Using overly ripe bananas will add natural sweetness to the cake and enhance the banana flavor. If your bananas aren’t quite ripe, you can speed up the process by baking them in the oven at 300°F for about 10-15 minutes until they soften.
