Quick breads or yeast breads need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Banana Bread

The crumble top on this recipe of banana bread makes it extra special.

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/3 cups mashed bananas
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup chopped nuts
Crumble top: (optional)
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup flour
½ tsp cinnamon
2 tbls butter

Preheat the oven to 350. Use a mixer to mash bananas and measure till enough. If you are a little short of enough bananas you can add a bit of applesauce. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then mashed bananas, vanilla and beat till fluffy.

Mix flour, baking soda, spice and salt with a fork in another bowl. Gradually add to creamed mixture and add nuts if desired. Mix just until moistened.

Use your now empty dry ingredients bowl and mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter for crumble topping. Pour batter into greased loaf pan and then sprinkle topping mixture on the dough. Bake for about 1 hour to 65 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
