Saturday morning... GAMES WERE CANCELLED. I know I shouldn't be happy, but I'm so glad that we didn't have to wake up early to hurry off to muddy fields to watch soccer games.
Since I didn't have to rush around this morning, I decided to bake some delicious crumb top banana bread. No need for a mixer with this recipe.
Ingredients for banana bread
- 3 to 4 slightly over ripe bananas, smashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter (+ extra for buttered loaf pan)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
Ingredients for crumb topping (optional)
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions for banana bread
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. With a wooden spoon and large mixing bowl, mix melted butter into the smashed bananas. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix well. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture. Mix in. Add flour and mix. Pour mixture into a buttered loaf pan.
Directions for crumb topping
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over bread mixture.
Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Slice and Enjoy!
