This Banana Cinnamon Crumb Cake has become a new favorite around here. It is super moist and that crumb topping just takes it to a whole new level of delicious! I think I could sit down and eat the whole pan by myself. This makes a great breakfast cake, but it’s good for dessert any time too. It is a great way to use up those bananas that you have sitting around getting a little too ripe. I always bake with bananas that are VERY ripe so that the banana flavor really comes through. I know you won’t be disappointed if you try these!

Notes
*If you really like a good crumb topping, I would double the ingredients. As written, it makes a very light topping.
