HIGH-ALTITUDE BANANA BREAD WITH CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• For the bread:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, mashed banana, water, and vanilla and mix to combine. In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts, and pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly
• For the crumb topping:
• In a bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, walnuts, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt together with a fork until medium crumbs form. If yours comes out too dry, add a teaspoon of water. If it's too wet, add a teaspoon of flour. Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the batter.
• Bake for 40 minutes. Then place a piece of foil over the top to prevent overbrowning, and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool in the pan completely before removing. Cut into wedges and serve.
