Banana Bread with Cinnamon Crumble

Not sure what to do with the over ripe bananas? Make some yummy banana bread! A great morning or afternoon snack. Recipe adapted from Inspired Taste.

True story....I forgot to put the nuts in the batter, so I had to improvise and make a crumble topping!

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
3 medium, mashed bananas
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
3/4 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mash bananas. Add brown sugar and eggs. Mix until combined. Add vanilla. Mix. Add flour, baking soda, salt and spice. Mix throughly.

Pour batter into a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2" loaf pan.

In a food processor, chop nuts, sugar until they form a crumble. Add to melted butter. Sprinkle over batter in loaf pan.

Bake for 35-50 minutes. Serve warm with butter. Enjoy!
