Step 1

Prep: Heat the oven to 360°F. Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Make topping: For the crumb topping, place the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until crumbs form. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3

Combine dry ingredients: Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Stir together until well combined.

Step 4

Combine wet ingredients: Stir together all wet ingredients in a separate large measuring jug until well combined.

Step 5

Assemble bread: Pour wet into dry ingredients and fold together just until flour is moistened (a few lumps are fine). Place the batter in the prepared loaf tin and evenly sprinkle with the crumb topping.

Step 6

Bake the banana bread: Bake for around 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely (remember to peel off the parchment paper, too!)
