Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350º.  Lightly spray a 8x8 pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 1" edge of paper above the pan for lifting cake out of pan.  Lightly spray the paper.
  •  For the batter: In a large bowl, mix together the dry batter ingredients:  flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and granola. Set aside.  
  •  For the streusel: In a small mixing bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, spices and nuts or granola.   Add melted butter and mix until crumbly.  Set aside. 
  •   In a medium bowl, mix the mashed banana with the sour cream, oil, egg and vanilla.  Add this to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  •  Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.  Sprinkle with 1/2 of the streusel, breaking it up into medium sized clumps. Pour remaining batter over streusel and gently spread to edges using an off set spatula. Top with remaining streusel. 
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
