Streusel-Topped Banana Bread

Approximate Time: 40 min

Ingredients
1 ½ c. all purpose flour
1 c. mashed bananas (3 sm. overripe bananas)
2 eggs
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1/3 c. sugar
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
¼ c. butter, melted
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon

Streusel:
½ c. all-purpose flour
½ c. packed light brown sugar
¼ c. butter, softened
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 3 mini loaf pans. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in medium size bowl. Beat bananas, eggs, sugar and butter in large bowl until smooth. On low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture. Divide batter among prepared pans. For streusel: Mix flour, sugar, butter, nutmeg and cinnamon in bowl with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake in 350 oven for 30 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. If streusel is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.

* James pretty much begs me to make this for him, it is his favorite. I made this just a few days ago and it doesn't last a day. I don't have 3 mini loaf pans, so I just use one large one and cook it for about an hour (check with toothpick). A good idea for this, if you have bananas that are becoming overripe, freeze them so you have them available whenever you want to make this. I do this (or my mom does this), when the bananas are thawed, they turn black and really mushy looking, this is ok! they are still fine to put in the bread and still have great flavor.
