Banana Nut Bread with Sour Cream and Streusel Topping


If there’s one recipe on Not Entirely Average that draws readers back time and again, it’s this Banana Nut Bread with Sour Cream and Streusel Topping. It’s been a personal favorite for years—which is exactly why I shared it when the blog first launched. No sense in gatekeeping the greats, right?

This recipe comes together in three silly-easy steps: a buttery, coffee cake‑style streusel gets layered over a rich banana batter made with sour cream for extra tenderness. After just an hour in the oven, you’ll pull out a golden loaf that’s as intoxicatingly fragrant as it is delicious.

Honestly, the scent alone might be enough to win you over ;-)

Don't believe me? Readers say...

Oh my….this is seriously soooooo good. It was done in about 55 mins. So moist. The topping is divine. I took your advice and left some of the banana chunky…then you get a nice piece of banana in some of the bites. Also, the topping makes for a very attractive loaf that anyone could not find tempting. Thanks for sharing!!!!!
This recipe is AMAZING!! I put it in mini loaf pans so I could give it as gifts, so I had to make a bit more streusel topping but followed the recipe exactly. It is awesome! The topping makes it bakery quality.
Made this for the second time yesterday. I think I’m going to have to hide it from my husband. ;-)
Excellent recipe – used slightly less sugar and swapped Greek yogurt for the sour cream. Used pecans in the streusel topping because hubby prefers them.

Visit Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston blends cobblestone charm, Southern hospitality, and top-tier food into one unforgettable trip. Walk historic streets, dine on fresh Lowcountry fare, and unwind by the beach—all in a city that feels frozen in time (in the best way).


The Andrew Pinckney Inn puts you right in the heart of the action. Housed in restored 19th-century buildings, this boutique hotel is named after Revolutionary-era leader Andrew Pinckney. Bonus: enjoy rooftop breakfast, wine hours, and views that pair perfectly with your porch-sittin’ dreams.

PS. Loving my emails? Buy me a coffee :) It's like a thank you note, but with a little extra love.
