These Mini Banana Streusel Loaves from my friend Sarah are so delicious, you'll wonder what else you can put streusel one! Gluten-free & vegan too.
I’m a simple, rustic girl when it comes to baking. I don’t like things that are too complicated. One bowl recipes…my favorite. Don’t get me wrong, I love decorating cupcakes and creating layered cakes. But when I’m in the mood to bake (which is pretty much all the time), I always go for those easy recipes. The ones that take no time to put together and are ready to go in the oven within minutes.
That’s why I love me some mini banana streusel loaves! Fresh, warm banana bread that doesn’t take quite as long to bake. I changed my most favorite banana bread recipe and added a streusel topping. I might be ruined. I don’t think I’ll ever make banana bread again without this streusel topping. It adds a little extra sweetness, crunch and texture. You’ll be eating every last crumb of these banana streusel loaves, I can promise you that!
Love gluten-free & vegan banana bread? Sarah’s Strawberry Banana Bread is really delicious, loaded with fresh strawberries.
If comforting baked goods are what you’re in the mood for, this French Apple Cake from my friend Alison and my Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding with Brown Sugar Bourbon Sauce should be next on your list.
