Banana Bread

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup melted butter

1 tablespoon buttermilk

1 egg

3 very ripe bananas mashed

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Streusel layer

1/8 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325°. Mix together sugar, oil, butter, buttermilk, egg, and mashed bananas. Add Flour and baking soda - mixing until just combined; fold in nuts.

Pour 1/3 of batter into greased loaf pan. Cover with 1/2 of streusel mix. Pour in 1/3 more batter and cover with rest of streusel mix. Cover with last 1/3 of batter.

Bake 70 minutes - check for doneness with toothpick - must not be gooey inside. Remove from loaf pan and cool on wire rack.

This has been called a starbuck's copycat recipe. I've never tried starbucks, but I have made a LOT of banana bread recipes over the years, and this is the best.
