Directions
Peanut Butter Streusel-Topped Cream Cheese Banana-Nut Bread, Whew! That is some title The peanut butter topping on this is outstanding My bananas were very sweet and ripe, so I was able to get away with less sugar in the batter (used the full amount in the topping though) From Southern Living , The streusel topping is so good used it on a low-fat banana bread that I always make Thanks for a nice change to our regular recipe , The batter tasted so good I couldn’t wait for it to come out of the oven, but that was the last thing about this recipe that worked for me The streusel never did behave like streusel, it was more like thick peanut butter frosting even after I added almost half again as much flour and brown sugar, so I spread it across the top of the batter as best I could After baking, the streusel fell off when the bread was touched, and I had to sprinkle it over the slices after they were buttered to make it stay Both the banana and the peanut butter tastes were almost nonexistent in the finished product The only thing I did differently from recipe as written was to leave out the nuts, as I didn’t have any I like the idea of using cream cheese in the batter and will incorporate that into my standard banana bread recipe, but this one just didn’t work for us, sorry The texture was perfect, but the taste was definitely lacking
