This is my absolute favorite banana bread/muffin recipe by far. I have tried many & I just love the subtle spices that pair well with the banana, plus you can never go wrong with a crunchy streusel.
This recipe works well for loaves of banana bread as well as the muffins. They are so light, fluffy, fruity, & amazing, not to mention quick to throw together. I prefer mine served warm from the oven with a little “butter.”
