Ingredients
  

Streusel

  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (156 g)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (38 g) optional
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter (85 g) melted
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (65 g) optional

Cake

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 g) softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (50 g) firmly packed
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten (room temperature preferred)
  • 1 cup mashed overripe banana (235) (about 2-3 bananas for me)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (220 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (60 ml)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a 9×9 baking pan with baking spray (or grease and flour, or line with parchment paper). Set aside and prepare streusel.
  • Whisk together flour, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and nuts.
  • Drizzle melted butter over mixture and use a fork to claw together until you have a clumpy streusel. Measure out chocolate chips and set aside along with streusel for later.
  • Combine butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer or stand mixer to beat until well creamed.
  • Add eggs and beat until well-combined. Stir in mashed banana and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and use a spatula to gently fold together until nearly combined. Add buttermilk, stir until nearly combined, then add remaining flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan. Top batter with the streusel mixture in an even layer and sprinkle mini chocolate chips overtop, if using.
  • Transfer to center rack of oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
