Ingredients

For the crumble topping

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup salted butter cold
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar

For the banana bread:

  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • ½ cup salted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

For the cinnamon sugar swirl:

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

For the crumble:

  • In a large food processor combine all of the ingredients for the crumble. Blend for about 30 seconds, or until littles balls start to form and the mixture resembles wet sand. Place in the refrigerator until needed.

For the cinnamon sugar swirl:

  • In a small bowl combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon and toss until combined. Set aside until needed.

For the banana bread:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl beat butter, oil, both granulated and brown sugars and bananas. Add in the eggs, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix until just combined. Add in flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.

For assembly:

  • Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle in all of the cinnamon sugar and top with remaining batter. Sprinkle all of the crumble on top. Bake for 1 hour or until completely cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 20 minutes until removing from the pan.
