Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
2 tablespoons cold butter (for streusel)
1/4 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir in the baking soda and salt. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the flour to the banana mixture and stir until just combined. If using, fold in nuts or chocolate chips.
Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
