Streusel-Topped Banana Bread

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 cup mashed bananas (3 small overripe bananas)

2 eggs

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

Streusel:

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup butter, softenend

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350~.  Grease three 5-3/4 x 3-1/4 x 2' disposable mini-loaf pans.  Mix together the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium bowl.  Beat bananas, eggs, sugar and melted butter in a large bowl until smooth.  On low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture.  Divide batter into prepared pans.

For the Streusel: Mix flour, sugar, butter, nutmeg and cinnamon with a fork until crumbly.  Sprinkle over batter.  Bake at 350~ for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean.  If streusel is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.  Cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minute.  Remove cakes from pans to racks to cool completely.
