📝Description: 

Straight from the Queen Bee’s oven, this honey banana bread with pecan crumble is the kind of treat that brings everyone to the table, buzzing with excitement. It's sweetened naturally with Fingerlakes Honey and enriched with cream cheese for a soft, plush texture that practically melts in your mouth. The crumble topping adds just the right contrast: nutty, cinnamony, and crisp. This recipe is perfect for gifting, brunch spreads, or slicing up at a bridal shower tea table. You can even wrap the cooled loaves in parchment and twine, paired with a jar of local honey, for a thoughtful DIY favor or thank-you gift. Bonus: it freezes beautifully- if it ever lasts that long!

🍯Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • ¾ cup butter, softened

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

  • ¾–1 cup Fingerlakes Honey Company honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1½ cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium ripe bananas)

  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract


For the Pecan Crumble (double if you love extra topping!):

  • ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup chopped toasted pecans

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

🥣Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans. (Light-colored pans prevent over-browning.)

  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add honey, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended after each.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating at low speed just until blended.

  4. Stir in mashed bananas, toasted pecans, and vanilla. Divide batter evenly between prepared loaf pans.

  5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, pecans, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in both pans.

  6. Bake for 1 hour, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes.

  7. Let loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool for at least 30 more minutes before slicing.
