banana bread with cinnamon sugar crumble topping

so i've been making this banana bread for years. don't really remember where i found it, probably from an ancient scroll in a sarcophagus of a kitty. actually, that's 100% correct.

 this is my favorite recipe, mostly because it uses honey and a crumble topping. it might just make you have amnesia, key and peele style, though. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
