I feel like I go through phases with banana bread. Not that I ever don’t like it. It’s always a tasty thing in my mind.
I think maybe it’s when I too often let the bananas go too ripe and we have too much of it, then I feel like I do just about anything to avoid making banana bread.
I’ve been known to freeze my bananas before they get too ripe, mostly because I love them in my smoothies and don’t want them to taste like overripe bananas. That taste is really only good in baked goods. And aren’t we glad someone figured that out? I know I sure am.
I have tried lots of banana breads. Some very sweet, some chocolate, some with other fruits mixed in. Lots of them were very tasty. This Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread is hands down my favorite.
And my kids favorite too. They raved about it for days. People would come over and they would say “My mom made the most delicious banana bread, do you want some?”. That’s not awkward at all.
Anyway. It’s moist and just the right amount of sweet, and the cinnamon streusel on top just places it all in perfection.
