How to Make Banana Orange Muffin Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add egg and melted butter; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in orange zest and orange juice.
  6. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and orange zest. Mix until crumbly.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel 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 is browning too quickly, tent with foil.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
