This banana bread is the perfect combination of super moist, cinnamon-sweet, and crunchy crumble topping. Due to the sweetness of the bananas, sugar can optionally be omitted. We’ll show you how easy it is to make this banana bread yourself.
Banana bread with sprinkles
Once again the banana has become too ripe, but you shouldn’t throw away the good one! Because you can conjure up a wonderful and juicy banana bread from ripe bananas. And we’ll add one more thing: crispy crumbles with cinnamon.
This banana bread has everything a treat needs. Due to the natural sweetness of the bananas, you can also completely do without sugar in the dough, optionally of course without the crumbles if you want it even healthier. But sometimes it can also be a little treat!
Coarsely chopped nuts can give banana bread an extra crunch. This is how you combine many healthy ingredients: bananas, nuts, buttermilk, and cinnamon. The fruity delicacy tastes just as good warm from the oven as it does when chilled – the 15 pieces are gone faster than you can say “cinnamon banana bread with crumbles”.
