Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. And spray three 5x3x2-inch mini baking pans very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pans; set aside. See Notes about baking pan options.
Streusel Topping:
- To a medium bowl, add the melted butter, 1/3 cup flour, sugars, cinnamon salt, and fluff very lightly with a fork to combine until small marbles and pebbles form. You are not ‘stirring’, you are fluffing lightly and gently.
- If the topping is very wet and is not fluffing into small pebbles and marbles and is more like wet sand, add additional flour up to 1/2 cup total, or as necessary, to create a streusel; set aside.
Bread:
- To a large bowl, add the egg, sugars, oil, sour cream, vanilla, and whisk to combine.
- Add the bananas and stir to incorporate.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don’t overmix.
- Evenly turn batter out into each of the three prepared pans, smoothing the tops lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly divide and sprinkle the streusel topping over the top of each pan.
- Bake for about 30 to 34 minutes (I baked 32 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at 25 minutes for doneness. Because all bananas vary in their moisture content, and because all ingredients, ovens, and climates vary, the baking times listed are only guidelines and you need to bake your banana bread until it is done. Watch your bread, not the clock.
- Allow bread to cool in pans for about 30 minutes or until cool enough to turn out.
Notes
- In this recipe, the yield of 10 means 10 servings total, not 10 loaves. Each of the 3 mini loaves can be sliced into about 7-8 slices.
- I have only made this exact recipe, exactly like this, in 5x3x2-inch mini loaf pans. However the banana bread recipe itself is adapted from Cream Cheese-Filled Banana Bread which is baked in a 9x5-inch loaf pan and baked for 48-50 minutes. If you're baking this in a 9x5-inch pan, since it doesn't have a layer of cream cheese in the middle, I am guessing that it would bake in about 45 minutes, but you need to watch your bread and not the clock when evaluating for doneness. I don't recommend baking this in two 8x4-inch pans because the loaves I fear will be very short and squat, and not very 'tall' like you'd want in banana bread.
- Banana bread is notorious for fooling you and you think it's done, but it's really not. Make sure a toothpick inserted deep into the center comes out clean before you decide it's done and pull it from the oven.
- Storage: Bread will keep airtight at room temp for 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months, noting the streusel may not stay as crispy and crunchy after freezing/thawing but the taste will still be great.
