Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Mash the very ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the mashed bananas with granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and an egg, mixing until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cinnamon, then fold this dry mixture into the banana mixture.
  5. Prepare the crumb topping by mixing brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon, then add melted butter until achieving a coarse crumb texture.
  6. Pour the banana batter into the greased loaf pan, then sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60–65 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
