This recipe boosts banana bread to a whole new level with maple syrup, sour cream, pecans and a cinnamon-spiced streusel. I was lucky enough to be a finalist in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. —David Dahlman, Chatsworth, California

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
