Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch square baking pan by greasing it.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and sour cream.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and stir until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The top should be golden and crisp.
  10. Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
