Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the mashed bananas and combine until smooth.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Stir in the cooled brewed coffee and vanilla extract until just combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  10. Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
