Servings:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, grease a 10x5 loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour to prevent the baked bread from sticking.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly. Set aside.
½ cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoons fine sea salt, 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas and melted butter until smooth.
3 large ripe bananas, 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
Add the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt; whisk until combined.
1 cup granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon sea salt
Stir in the sour cream and baking soda.
½ cup sour cream or full fat Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon baking soda
Gently fold in the flour and cinnamon until just combined — don’t over-mix.
1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 cups all-purpose flour
Fold in the chopped apple.
1 medium apple
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.
Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the batter.
Bake for 70–75 minutes, covering loosely with foil around the 50-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
