Ingredients
Banana Bread Ingredients
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup mashed overripe bananas 2-3 bananas, depending on size
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Streusel Ingredients
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup old fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F, and grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- First prepare the streusel topping. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, and oats. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix well until clumps form. Set the topping aside.
- Next, prepare the banana bread batter. In a medium mixing bowl, add the sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until completely smooth and light yellow in color. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla. Mix well.
- In separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, and stir with a spatula just until the flour is incorporated. Do not overmix or it will toughen the bread.
- Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan. Top the bread batter evenly with the streusel topping. Immediately place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean in the center of the bread. Let cool slightly before removing from the pan. Slice and enjoy!
