Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix until combined.
  3. Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  4. Prepare the crumb topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Pour the banana batter into the prepared pan. Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and aroma.
  • Chill the crumb topping before baking for better crumbly texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Warm slices in the oven or air fryer before serving for a fresh-baked feel.
  • Add nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
