Banana Bread with Streusel Topping

I had those three overly-ripe bananas just hanging out in my fruit basket this weekend.
Debating whether or not  to slice and freeze them for smoothies, or to bake with them took me a day to deliberate.
Why the dilemma over the decision?
Well:
A) I could use them for healthy smoothies
B) I could make yummy banana bread with my favorite brown sugar streusel topping and eat it all myself
I always end up eating it all myself.
My husband isn't a banana bread kind of guy.
I have a huge soft spot for it and can never get enough of it once I start.
So...after asking my three-year-old which she wanted, a smoothie or banana bread, she chose the later option much to my happiness. We got to work mashing bananas!


Banana Bread with Streusel Topping

1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, melted

1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp butter, softened

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add to the banana mixture and stir to combine.
