Ingredients:
| For the Bread: | For the Streusel Topping: |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour | 1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
| 1 1/2 tsp baking powder | 1/4 cup sugar |
| 3/4 tsp baking soda | 1/4 cup butter (cold) |
| 1/4 tsp salt | 1/16 tsp ground nutmeg |
| 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg | 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon |

| 1 ripe banana, mashed | |
| 2 large eggs | |
| 1 cup sugar | |
| 1/3 cup butter, melted |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three (3) 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2-inch disposable mini-loaf pans (you can also use two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans).
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the mashed banana, eggs, sugar, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually beat the flour mixture into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Fill Pans: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.
-
Make Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, use a fork to mix together the flour, sugar, cold butter, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon until crumbly.
-
Top with Streusel: Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter in the pans.
-
Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the streusel is browning too quickly, loosely cover the pans with foil.
-
Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
-
Serve: After cooling, remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to the wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
