Whole Wheat Cinnamon Crunch Banana Bread

This Whole Wheat Cinnamon Crunch Banana Bread is a fun breakfast idea. Healthier with Greek yogurt, oil & whole wheat flour, yet such a special treat!



I’m SO excited to share this recipe. It’s my favourite banana bread in the entire world.

Yes, favoriter than anything with chocolate, and that means something coming from me.

I think it’s the streusel-y crumb topping, because streusel anything is the best

I make this with my toddler all the time, and we usually make a double batch of streusel because we’ll eat them before baking anyways ?

This is a great recipe to make with small kids, because all wet ingredients just need to get mixed in a bowl, sprinkle with the dry ingredients and fold.

Em is already pretty good at measuring out the dry ingredients, and she loves whisking the wet ingredients.

I make the streusel and she sneaks little bites when she thinks I don’t see her. It’s the cutest thing.

I don’t mind making this quick bread often, because I made quite a few healthy ingredient swaps.



There’s Greek yogurt in place of some of the fat. No butter, but oil. You can use any oil you have on hand, we have successfully made it with melted coconut oil, canola oil and sunflower oil. Sunflower oil is a bit stronger in taste, but it still works fine.

The bread itself is made with 100% whole wheat flour, but I usually make the crunchy topping with white flour. You could definitely try whole wheat there, too, though.
