Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan liberally.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted brown butter, combining well with the bananas.
  4. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  8. Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the streusel generously on top.
  9. Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
