Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar (for streusel topping)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed (for streusel topping)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix in the melted butter.
Stir in baking soda and salt, followed by the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Add flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter until crumbly.
Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle half of the streusel topping, then add the remaining batter and finish with the rest of the streusel.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
