Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring a 2-inch overhang.
- To create the crumb topping, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Blend in softened butter with fingertips until crumbly and leave to refrigerate.
- For the banana bread batter, mash ripe bananas and measure out 1 cup. Mix with brown and granulated sugar, then add eggs, butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, whisking together.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently, then incorporate the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and top with crumb mixture and extra chocolate chips. Bake for 38-42 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the pan cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, covered with foil.
- To prepare the espresso glaze, mix powdered sugar, espresso powder, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla in a bowl, adding milk gradually until it reaches a drizzle consistency. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor.
You can add nuts for extra crunch if desired.
