Making Banana Nut Bread Mini Loaves
First, start out by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
In another large bowl, cream together both sugars and butter until mixture is light and fluffy. Add in the rest of the wet ingredients.
Next, slowly pour the dry ingredients into the large bowl with the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Fold into the batter the chopped pecans.
Making the Streusel Topping
Meanwhile, to make the streusel topping, combine all the ingredients together until the mixture is crumbly in texture.
Putting it all Together
Get your mini bread loaf pan out and spray each loaf mold with cooking spray. Add batter about halfway full in each mold. You don’t want to overfill it or there wont be any room for the streusel on top.
Generously sprinkle the streusel topping on top of the batter.
Finally, its time for the oven. Bake the mini bread loaves for about 20 minutes, making sure to keep an eye on them.
The bread will be done when a clean knife or toothpick is inserted into the middle of bread and comes out with moist crumbs on it.
Let the mini loaves kick back in the pan for a few minutes to cool down a tad. After they have cooled down some, remove each mini bread loaf and let them cool down completely on a cooling rack.
You can dust the top of your loaves with a little powdered sugar, or not, it’s your choice.
Happy Eating!
