Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut a piece of parchment paper the width of your loaf pan and a few inches longer than the inside of your pan. Lightly grease loaf pan and line the inside of the loaf pan with the parchment paper (this will make is easy to remove the whole loaf of banana bread without losing any of the amazing topping).
- In a small bowl, mix all filling ingredients and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together all dry banana bread ingredients. In another bowl, mix all banana bread wet ingredients together.
- Slowly mix wet ingredient mixture into dry ingredient mixture until well combined.
- In the loaf pan, add ⅓ of the batter, then sprinkle ½ the filling evenly, then repeat. Add final ⅓ batter on top.
- In a different bowl, mix all dry topping ingredients together, then add the melted butter until well combined and crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the on top of the loaf and slightly press down.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes. You will know when the bread done when you can insert a toothpick in the center and it will comes out clean. If loaf is becoming too dark, cover with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Let cool for 10 minutes, then using the edges of the parchment paper, slowly lift out of the pan and put on a cooling rack to completely cool, this will prevent the bottom of the loaf from getting soggy. Enjoy!
