Banana bread with crumble

Anyways back on track here, I had to to something with these damn bananas but didnt want to do the regular BORING banana bread that I literally do EVERY TIME! So I thought of coffee cake! Gives it a little more life and texture. And I got to say this banana bread is by FAR the BEST bread Ive ever made. Im not gona lie I improvised a little bit on the flavoring. I dont messure my spices cause I LOVE ALOT of flavor. And I always add some nutmeg and ground ginger to give it more depth. But I will try and make it as accurate for you guys as possible.

I honestly love banana bread HOWEVER it definitely gets boring. Just a soft spongecake sometimes with walnuts sometimes not. Sure you can add chocolate or other fruits to it but is it then really banana bread? I literally ALWAYS have overripe bananas at home cause everytime I go to the store I always buy some damn bananas! Maybe I have an addiction!? 🤔 Maybe banana addiction is a thing!!!! Im doomed for life!

Like I literally always say, think OUTSIDE THE BOX. Add flavorings of your choice. Add different nuts add more fruit. And some extract. Sprinkles, chocolate, coconut (omg yum, just gave myself an idea, Thanks Becks!), dried fruit. Seriously once you have the recipe down add what ever the hell you desire and go with it. If it goes to shits WHO CARES start over! Aint no biggie!
