Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
a dash of nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
4 very ripe bananas (mashed with a fork or potato masher)
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts (toasted and chopped)
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (slightly softened and cut into pieces)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping; cut in softened butter until crumbly. Stir in chopped walnuts and set aside.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in another bowl.
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy; add eggs one at a time. Mix in mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla extract before gradually incorporating dry ingredients. Fold in walnuts gently without overmixing.
Pour batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle streusel on top. Bake for 1 to 1 hour 10 minutes until a toothpick tests clean.
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
