Ingredients for Banana Nut Crumb Cake

How to Make Banana Nut Crumb Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. For the crumb topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until crumbly.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
