Looking for a great banana bread recipe? Or maybe a perfect gift for a teacher or a neighbor? Look no further! This Christmas Spiced Streusel Banana Bread is fantastic, wrapped up and the free printable tag tied on with some ribbon. Perfect for gift giving!
I found these cute little ceramic loaf pans to bake mine in, but that isn’t even necessary! The bread is so good, they won’t care if it comes in a throwaway aluminum loaf pan!
I mixed these up for all of our special teachers to enjoy while they were “loafing” around on Christmas Break!
Here is the tag I put on mine. Feel free to print it off and use it!
“A Special Treat for while you’re “LOAFING” around over Christmas Break.”
I found the idea for the tags on Pinterest. It took me to a page called CrazyLittleProjects.com
This delicious bread recipe is my own!

This bread is delicious! Best banana bread recipe HANDS DOWN! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi, this sounds delicious! I have 4 mini loaf pans. Do you think I could use this recipe? Thanks!!
I am not 100% sure it’ll fill all four of them, but it should be very close! Fill the pans about 2/3 of the way full. I would love to hear how many you can get from it, as I haven’t tried the mini pans with this recipe.
I’m making this a second time it was amaaazing! Question, salted or unsalted butter? If I only have unsalted should I add salt?
Hi, Michelle! I am so happy you love this recipe as much as we do! It is absolutely okay to add a bit of salt if you don’t have unsalted butter. I didn’t specify on the recipe, but typically I do use salted.
Incredible banana bread. The cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves set this recipe apart from traditional loaves. And the streusel layered in the loaf is a nice surprise.
I made this gluten free by simply swapping flour (used King Arthur GF), adding 1/4 tsp xanthan gum and leaving out the 6 tbsp. milk. Because it was GF it took longer to cook (approx 80 mins). No one in my family could tell it was GF. And even my daughter who doesn’t like banana bread liked this recipe (the streusel worked it’s magic!).
EXCELLENT recipe!
I am THRILLED that you loved it! Thanks for the GF tip!
I made this bread in mini loaf pans for Christmas gifts and the people just loved it!!!! I need to make again so I can try it.
Such a great twist on banana bread!! So happy they enjoyed it!! <3 Now it's your turn!!
