You know what I love more than banana bread? A banana bread with streusel topping! This grain, gluten, and dairy free banana bread is jam-packed with healthy ingredients. And, it could not be easier to make. As it cools, the streusel topping gets crusty and hard, just the way I like it. Some ways you can enjoy this bread: breakfast, as a snack, and even as a dessert. I would even have this with some coconut cream whipped cream. It goes perfectly with some ghee and jam and your favorite cup of tea.
When baking, due to oven temperatures varying, keep an eye on it, and when a toothpick comes out clean, it should be done.
I used ripe bananas; bananas with a few blackish spots, but not too ripe. I recently read that placing the plastic wrap around the stems are supposed to keep them fresh longer. Anyone hear that and does it work?

I've tried the plastic wrap thing -- it kept them from getting brown, but the inside of the bananas were still getting riper and riper. I went to peel a beautifully yellow banana, and the peel just fell off and I had a very mushy banana on the inside. This bread looks great! I'm a sucker for a sweet quick bread and I just love a streuselly top
