Banana Streusel Bread

This recipe can be made into just regular banana bread, or for a more special occasion, into a Streusel.  Mmm!

Look at that gorgeous swirl!

 

You'll Need:
1/2c. margarine
1c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
3 medium sized banana's (about 1c)

For streusel:
1/4 - 1/2c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Flour

In a mixer, mix margarine and sugar.  Add eggs in, one at a time.  Add vanilla and combine.

In a separate bowl add your dry ingredients.  Flour, baking powder, salt, and soda.  Wisk together. In 3rd's, add the dry ingredients to the mixer.  Making sure to mix well each time, then scrap the sides before adding the next batch of dry ingredients. 

Smash your banana's in a bowl.  (I just use a fork.)

Add banana's to your mixer and stir to combine.

 

Pour the finished mix into a greased and lightly floured 8x8 pan.

*For streusel:

In a bowl combine brown sugar and flour.  Mix.

Top your banana bread with the mixture and with a knife swirl it in.  Just like you would coffee cake.

Bake for 30-35 min's.   If you decide to use a loaf pan, simply cook at the same temp for 1 hr.

Enjoy!
