Cinnamon Crunch Banana Bread

Banana bread on a whole other level with a cinnamon crunch topping!

My husband and I love a crumble/streusel topping on breakfast or snack foods. I happened to have some bananas that were getting mushy and the time to make banana bread, so I chose this recipe because cinnamon crunch combined with banana bread was a match made in heaven. It was so nice to have that added crunch on top!

For the Crumb Topping:

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1 tsp. cinnamon
