Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon into a large bowl and set aside. Butter and flour an 8 x 4.5-inch/20 x 11 cm nonstick bread pan.
  2. To make the batter, pour grapeseed oil into a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and beat well with a hand whisk. In a separate medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add the banana mixture to the wet ingredients and mix. Stir in the dry ingredients and delicately mix with a rubber spatula. Add vanilla extract and lemon juice and mix until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and refrigerate while making the streusel.
  3. To make the streusel topping, in a separate bowl, place all-purpose flour, almond flour, oats, and chilled butter cut into small cubes. Make the crumbly dough by hand. It has to look like wet sand. Take the bread batter from the fridge and sprinkle the streusel on top. Bake banana bread in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  4. The bread is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes and remove it. Use a butter knife to run it around each side to loosen any stuck-on crumbs before carefully transferring the bread to a wire rack.

Notes

  1. Mash the bananas with a potato masher, if preferred.
  2. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
  3. If you are adding any additional mix-ins (2 oz. or 60 g chopped walnuts, pecans, or unsweetened chocolate chips), gently fold them in at the last moment.
