Streusel-Topped Banana Bread

Description
If you think there's no way to improve on the delicious flavor of homemade banana bread, we have three words for you: crumbly streusel topping.
Ingredients:
- Streusel
- 3 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces
- Bread
- 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted, cooled to room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamo
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In small bowl, stir together Streusel ingredients except butter. Pinch pieces of butter into flour mixture until crumbly and looks like wet sand. Refrigerate.
- In large bowl, mix mashed bananas, melted and cooled butter, 1 cup sugar, the egg, milk and vanilla to combine. In another small bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, salt and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Fold banana mixture into flour mixture just until combined, taking care not to over mix. Spread batter in loaf pan, smoothing top. Sprinkle streusel evenly over top.
- Bake in center of oven about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on cooling rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool at least 15 minutes before slicing.
