- 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (from 3 medium bananas)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
- ¾ cup coarsely chopped pecans
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Dust the greased pan with 2 tablespoons of flour. Tap out any excess flour and set aside.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup melted butter until combined.
- Add the eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla to the sugar mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the baking soda, salt, apple pie spice, and 1 1/2 cups of flour.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Assemble the Bread:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Make the Streusel Topping:
- In a bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons flour until combined.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Gently turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or aluminum foil for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
