How To Roast Bananas
Slice 2 large ripe bananas into 1/2 inch slices.
Place into ramekin or other small baking dish of choice. Top with cubed cold butter and brown sugar. Bake then remove and let cool for 10 minutes. They’ll be golden brown.
Prepare your banana bread batter…wet ingredients then dry.
Banana Bread Recipe
Transfer batter into small loaf pan lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Place all of the streusel ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until crumbly dough starts to form. Place streusel pieces on top of banana bread batter and bake!
Let your bread cool completely before slicing. It will be worth the wait, trust me!
Crunchy sweet oat streusel in every bite. Mmm!
