Stop what you are doing and go look in your freezer. See that bag of over-ripe bananas that you have been saving since the resurrection? Yeah, the ones you wanted to make banana bread with but have never found the motivation? Go ahead and get that out, because i’ve got your motivation right here. Cinnamon Streusel.
This crumbly mixture traditionally made of flour, butter, and sugar can spruce up just about any of your baked goods with it’s crispy sweetness. It adds a delightful variety of texture. And it’s so simple to make, you will find yourself adding it to everything!
Banana bread is a pretty versatile dish itself. You can enjoy it for breakfast or dessert, as a loaf or a muffin, with a fork, or on the go! My husband likes me to pack him some for second breakfast. I like to sit and enjoy mine with a hot cup of coffee.
If you want to take it next-level, drizzle a warm slice with some sweet, sticky Paleo Caramel Sauce. You have never had such a decadent bite of banana bread!
