1 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 medium zip-lock bag for each bread mix you are making
FOR THE STREUSEL MIX:
1/2 cup(s) brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup(s) chopped nuts
1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1 small zip-lock bag for each streusel mix you are making
INGREDIENTS TO ADD TO BREAD MIX:
1/2 cup(s) (1 cube) butter, melted butter flavored shortening or margarine, room temp.
1 cup(s) granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup(s) very ripe bananas, mashed (5 medium)
2 - eggs, well beaten
INGREDIENTS TO ADD TO THE STREUSEL MIX:
3 tablespoon(s) butter, room temperature

Steps:

TO MAKE THE BANANA BREAD: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare desired pan/s generously with vegetable spray and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add mashed bananas and eggs beat well.
Pour mix into a mixer bowl and make a well. Pour liquid ingredients into the well of the dry mix. Beat just until combined. Do Not Over Beat. Pour into prepared pans and spread as evenly as possible. For muffins/cupcakes with higher tops, fill cups 1/4 inch from the top (you will have a few less yield). (For regular muffins/cupcakes fill 3/4 full).
TO MAKE THE STREUSEL MIX: Empty mix contents into a bowl. Cut the butter in with a pastry blender or a couple of butter knives. Mixture will resemble large peas (not bigger). Sprinkle on bread loaves, pans or muffin/cupcakes generously and evenly before baking.
Bake for designated times: 4"x7" loaf pans (2) for 20-25 minutes, (1) for 55 minutes 8-9" rounds for 30-35 minutes 13x9" 40-45 minutes cupcakes/muffins 15-20 minutes standard bundt 50-60 minutes or until done; a wooden skewer or knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Allow bread to cool in pan/s for 5 minutes before removing to cooling racks to cool completely. Refrigerate either in an airtight container or well wrapped in foil.
