I usually make banana bread when I have some over ripe bananas that are just begging to be used.
If I catch them before they become too ripe then I will usually make banana pudding.
This really is a fairly simple bread to throw together.
You can make it with or without the streusel topping. But I think the topping makes this bread really something special and unique.
I do like to add some banana extract to the batter because I like a really strong banana flavor and I just love what it does to the bread.

Yum! Banana bread is a favorite in our house, but I've never made it with a topping. Might have to do that next time! :)
I love Farmers Market, it is so much fun! Your Banana Bread looks so good...We are going to really enjoy it here at Full Plate Thursday. Thank you so much for bringing it today and please come back!
Stopping by from Full Plate Thursday, I have made a lot of banana bread, but never with a topping. Looks great and I can't to make this version. Thanks.
I love bananas in any form and bread is one of my most favourite ones :) Yours looks so exquisite! It's a great idea to sprinkle the bread with streusel (haven't thought of that before) - I'll have to try it next time when making bread :)
Yum, I love banana bread and I love streusel. I can't imagine why I never thought of making one with the other. Thanks for linking this up to Sweets for a Saturday.
I love everything about this! I am going to make this today and post it on my blog and link it back to you! I bet this streusel would be awesome on zucchini bread. I have some to use!
