Banana Crumb Bread
Hey everyone, this is Sarah again–you know the one girl who is taking over Oh Sweet Basil with all of her adoption stuff! I am not gone yet! And you are going to be glad that I am not, because I get to share with you our favorite banana bread recipe.
This isn’t any normal banana bread this is Banana Crumb Bread — same wonderful flavors of banana bread with sugar on top…literally. Which just makes it all the better. It is our favorite bread to share with family, friends, and neighbors because there is nothing better than receiving a warm loaf of banana bread, except receiving a warm loaf of banana bread that has a sweet crumb topping.
This recipe is quick and easy but has a wonderful depth of flavor with the added cinnamon and vanilla in the bread and the brown sugar and cinnamon crumb topping. It works perfectly to make into one big loaf or 2-3 small loaves. The end product comes out nice and dense.
I do have one problem if I don’t give the banana bread away…I eat it all. But banana bread is healthy, right? It has bananas in it.
How Long Will Banana Bread Keep?
Freshly baked banana bread will last for about 1 to 2 days at normal room temperature. Banana bread should be wrapped tightly to maintain freshness.
Can Banana Bread Be Frozen?
Banana bread freezes very well, as does all quick breads. Wrap tightly in plastic, foil, or place in heavy duty freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months.
Are Bananas Good For You?
Bananas are high in potassium and contain good levels of protein and dietary fiber. Potassium helps muscles to contract and nerve cells to respond. It keeps the heart beating regularly and can reduce the effect of sodium on blood pressure.
