Joy's Amazing Banana Bread image

Another recipe from my mother in law...a delicious banana loaf with a yummy crumble topping (the best part!). This banana bread can be tweaked to be either more like a dessert or more of a healthy breakfast loaf. Just depends on which yummy add-ins you want to use. Also, I use part unbleached bread flour, and part whole wheat flour to make it a bit healthier but still smooth.

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup soft butter
3 very ripe bananas
1 3/4 cups flour (great with part whole wheat flour)
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup flax seed (optional)
1/3 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
1/4 cup carob chips (optional) or 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (optional)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)
3/4 cup oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon flax seed
1/3 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a small bowl, beat together (with mixer if you have one): sugar, softened butter, bananas.
  • In a large bowl, combine: flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda. Mix these dry ingredients together, then add banana mixture from step 2.
  • Add eggs, milk, any of the optional mix-ins. Mix together well to a smooth batter.
  • Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.
  • For the crumble topping - combine in small bowl: chopped nuts, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, flax seeds, melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
  • Spread crumble topping mixture on top of the batter in the loaf pan.
  • Bake approximately 45 minutes at 350. Note: in the oven, the bread will lift and the topping will overflow a bit, so I recommend placing a cookie sheet underneath to catch the droppings.
