Ingredients
Batter:
- Butter, for greasing pan
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (from 2–3 bananas)
- 1/4 cup warm water
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado, Demerara (for more crunch) or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Or alternatively, butter the pan and line it with parchment or wax paper, leaving enough paper hanging over the sides to lift the cake out after baking.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, and honey until smooth. Stir in bananas and warm water. Add dry ingredients to egg-oil mixture and stir to blend. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients together. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake until tester comes out clean, about 1 hour, give or take. If topping shows signs of burning, reduce heat to 325 degrees.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes in pan, on a rack. Carefully remove the bread without breaking the topping. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
