My kids are notorious for leaving bananas on the counter so they get too ripe to eat, but are perfect for banana bread. I think…no…I know…they do it on purpose. In fact, just the other day my son asked me when I was planning on making banana bread. The bananas were NOT over-ripe just yet! He was planning ahead! Well, he’s in luck! Today I made a gluten free oatmeal banana cinnamon crunch bread. Not just one layer of crunch, but two yummy layers!

Prepare your cinnamon crunch topping in a small bowl and set aside. You will need this in a few minutes.

Next, add your remaining ingredients (gluten free oatmeal, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and gluten free flour) and be sure to mix well after each new addition.

Add half of your gluten free oatmeal banana cinnamon crunch bread mixture to your greased loaf pan. Top with half of the cinnamon crunch topping, making sure to cover the entire area. Add the remaining amount of batter and then top with the other half of the cinnamon crunch topping.

This structured loaf pan is my favorite! I have this, as well as, a structured mini-muffin pan and a structured muffin pan. They make baking really easy! When I make muffins, it’s super easy to pop those muffins out of the tin. No sticking to the sides if I don’t grease the pan as well as I should have when I use a regular metal pan. You should totally check it out!
