How To Make banana nut streusel bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 325.
  • Step 2
    In large mixing bowl mash bananas with a potato masher (or a fork if you don't have a masher). Add in the butter, sugar, salt and eggs; fully incorporate after each ingredient addition.
  • Step 3
    In small bowl blend the flour and baking soda. Add to the wet mixture and beat until just about blended, still a little dry parts showing.
  • Step 4
    Add walnuts and finish mixing. Divide batter into 2 8 inch loaf pans and set aside.
  • Step 5
    Wipe out the bowl used for the flour mixture...Place all topping ingredients and mix well. You can use two knives, a fork or a pastry blender. I prefer to use my hands to fully mix everything up.
  • Step 6
    Dived topping and crumble the topping over the batter and pat down slightly, cover whole loaf.
  • Step 7
    Bake for 1 hour. Do not over bake. Check for done-ness with a toothpick at center at 1 hour.
