How to Make Banana Nut Crunch Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped walnuts and pecans.
  6. For the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, and cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
