Ingredients

• 2 whole ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 whole large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add the sour cream or yogurt and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture.

Step 6

To make the streusel, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold cubed butter in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 7

Pour the banana batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with coffee or tea for a perfect breakfast treat!
