Ingredients

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/2 cup all purpose flour

• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Banana Bread:

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat & Prepare Pan:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Streusel Topping:
   In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Banana Bread Batter:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
   In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 mashed bananas, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Add the Cinnamon Swirl:
   In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.

5. Top with Streusel:
   Evenly sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over the batter in the loaf pan.

6. Bake:
   Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool:
   Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
