This show stopping, decadent loaf of Cinnamon Streusel Banana bread will be the talk of the party, and make you feel like a legitimate chef. The first bite I took after attempting this recipe literally made me dance around the kitchen. The flavors blend together to create the perfect amount of streusel crunch, and soft, sweet bread. You will want to make this recipe again and again. Make sure to double the recipe to surprise your neighbor with some of this tasty perfection.
I absolutely love the dual-tone coloring of this delicious loaf. I love that you get to see little peaks of traditional banana bread, intertwined with the lighter color of the cinnamon streusel.
You cannot beat how simple and easy this recipe is. You can prepare it in less than 10 minutes and have it baked in just an hour. Banana bread is one of my favorite recipes to make because there is no rest time, or waiting for the dough to rise. Just whip up the ingredients, combine them and pop that loaf in the oven.
Any time I make this bread my kids devour it about as quickly as it took to make it. But it makes my mama heart sing when it fills their tummies with happiness.
