Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas unripe
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature save the wrapper
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Place bananas (peel left on) onto a baking sheet.
  • Slide the bananas into your preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Bananas should be soft and the peels should be dark black.
  • Once roasted, remove the bananas and reduce the temperature of the oven to 325°F and butter and line a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Once the bananas are cool, mash with a fork.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add in the mashed the bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg and milk.
  • In separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. And add to the bowl with the bananas.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 40-45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, dark brown sugar in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter, blend the ingredients. Add a small pinch of salt, and the chopped walnuts and toss.
  • After 40 minutes remove and sprinkle on topping evenly and bake for 20-25 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes.
  • Slice and spread with honey or serve with ice cream, but I like mine still warm with butter!
