3 pieces Ripe Bananas Ensure they are very ripe for the sweetest and most moist loaf.
1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and helps with browning; brown sugar can deepen the flavor.
2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; feel free to use whole wheat or gluten-free flour if needed.
1 piece Egg Binds the ingredients; for a vegan option, substitute with a flax egg.
1 teaspoon Baking Soda Essential for leavening; make sure it’s fresh for the best rise.
1 teaspoon Cinnamon Key to the crumb topping, providing warmth; mix in nutmeg for extra spice.
½ cup Butter Adds richness; coconut oil is a great dairy-free substitute.

½ cup Brown Sugar Offers a delightful crunch and sweetness; no substitutions recommended for the best texture.
1 cup Flour Provides the right texture for the crumb; same as the batter flour will work here.
1 teaspoon Cinnamon Amplifies the flavor; use freshly ground for the best taste.
¼ cup Butter Binds the topping ingredients; coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add sugar, egg, and melted butter, and mix well.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter for the crumb topping until crumbly.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.

For added flavor, consider mixing in nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.
