Bake With Me! Cinnamon Crunch Banana Bread

For this week, I wanted to try something a little different. Since it’s September (ALREADY), I am in the mood to start my fall baking. I have some very ripe bananas sitting on my counter and what better way to use them than to put them into what seems like a very delicious cinnamon crunch banana bread that I found while scrolling through Pinterest. I am posting this as I am making the recipe, so this is my very first impression on its process and the final product! I will link the recipe down below but join me as I try this fall-like recipe!

Alright, so after preheating the oven, I had to make the crumb topping, and let me tell you, having fake nails does not make it easy. It took sooo much longer than I thought but finally finished after a good 10 minutes.

All the ingredients are very straight forward and it was easy to make a few substitutions as I did not have whole wheat flour that it calls for, so I used all-purpose as well as my usual substitute with my trivia sugar (stevia blend).

I really enjoy taking a few risks with measurements and how much of each ingredient I want, for example, cinnamon. You can NEVER go wrong with too much cinnamon but I like to eyeball spices to my liking and to create more uniqueness to the recipe.

What’s truly nice about this recipe, is it gives the perfect advice to beginner bakers. Mentioning things like: not over-mixing the batter or the perfect ripened banana and tips with that really help put into perspective the proper steps to take in making this recipe the best tasting that it can be!

Currently waiting for it to come out of the oven but the smell is seriously amazing and it definitely feels like fall in my house right now.

Finally took it out of the oven and let it cool.
