My mother would bake banana bread quite often growing up. She had a clay, tubular pan that she would bake in, producing a tall, round loaf of banana bread. I would slice rounds off of the loaf and slather them with butter for an after-school snack.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the chocolate streusel
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons (92g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (77g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted or salted butter, melted
For the banana bread cake

2 to 3 medium very ripe bananas, peeled (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)

1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
