Coffee Crunch Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. For the coffee crunch topping, in small bowl, mix first 5 ingredients with fingers until mixture holds together in clumps.
• In small bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. In large bowl, beat 1/3 cup butter and the granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add bananas, vanilla and yogurt; beat on low speed. Slowly add flour mixture, beating just until blended. Pour into pan. Sprinkle coffee-crunch topping over batter.
• Bake 60 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely. For glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk until thin enough to drizzle over loaf.

Steps:

• Spray or grease the bottom of a standard loaf pan (mine was 1 1/2 qts. capacity). Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl and using a mixer, beat together the sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Beat in the butter until smooth; beat in the buttermilk and mashed bananas. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon, if using. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture just until incorporated. Do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients together using a large fork or the bottom of a wire whisk until mixture resembles peas. Sprinkle the crumbles over the top of the batter. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until center tests done with a toothpick. Cool in pan for about 15 minutes on a wire rack then run a thin knife around the edges to loosen and remove to the rack to cool completely. Sift confectioners sugar over the top then cut into slices.
