The Best Banana Nut Bread

This really is a fairly simple bread to throw together. You can make it with or without the streusel topping. I do like to add some banana extract to the batter because I like a really strong banana flavor but if you don’t have it on hand, just substitute with vanilla extract.

Ingredients
For the bread:

• 3 very ripe bananas mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon banana extract optional
• 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• Optional Streusel Topping:
• ¼ cup flour
• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
2. Spray loaf baking dish with nonstick spray.
3. In a medium bowl, combine mashed bananas, eggs, butter and sugar and extract.
4. Mix thoroughly, then add dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
