Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. (I recommend using a light colored aluminum pan because they enable even, controlled heat resulting in a gentle heat and tender crumb. This bread has not been tested in a glass pan). I like to brush the pan with a little softened butter and sprinkle an even layer of flour around the pan. Set aside.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small dish for the swirl and set aside.
- For the streusel combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the cold or melted butter and mix until the mixture clumps together, I use my fingers but two forks or a pastry cutter works too.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl and add in the remaining wet ingredients. Beat with a hand mixer to combine.
- Fold in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Pour 1/2 of the banana bread mixture into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle some of the cinnamon sugar mixture in the middle, reserve a little to garnish on the top after it bakes. (You can swirl it in with a knife if you want or just leave it in a layer is what I usually do), and then pour the remaining banana bread batter on top. Top with the streusel.
- Bake for ~55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, a few crumbs are okay but it shouldn't look wet. If you notice the tops browning too quickly, you can tent with foil.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15-30 minutes and then invert onto a cooling rack. Whisk together the ingredients for the glaze and drizzle it over the top of the cooled bread. Garnish with any leftover cinnamon/sugar. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Pro tip: you can make it in a food processor and pulse until the clumps form. So easy!
- Storage: Once cooled, wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for 4-5 days, or wrap the bread in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
