Becky’s Banana Bread

This is a recipe I got from family friend, Becky Crane. We stayed with the Cranes when we went snowboarding one year, and on our way up to The Canyons, she sent us out the door with a warm piece of this bread. It is to die for! When we got back to California, I called Becky to get the recipe. In true Utah-Mormon-Super-Mom fashion, she answered, “Oh which one was it…I have so many banana bread recipes!” I have made this many times since over the years and it never fails to please.

What makes it for me is the streusel topping. See the line of buttery, caramelized goodness on top? You really don’t even need to put butter on this when it’s hot out of the oven, but I won’t tell if you do :)

1 1/2 c. flour

1 1/2 t. baking powder

3/4 t. baking soda

1/4 c. softened butter
