Is it normal to get this excited over banana bread?! I first tried Crumble Banana Bread recently while honeymooning in Hawaii and it was a real eye-opener. The texture was soft, the crumble was crunchy and it was a banana bread experience I had never had before. I just had to recreate it clean!
This recipe is everything you want in a yummy banana bread, the soft and fluffy texture is complemented by the crumbly top – and it’s delicious! Super easy to make with natural ingredients, it’s one of my new favourites. Happy baking!
