Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 5 x 9 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the banana with the honey, milk, butter and eggs. Add to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined.
Pour mixture into the loaf pan. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle evenly on top of the batter.
Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes, then lift the loaf out by grabbing the sides of the parchment paper. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Bread will keep for a few days wrapped up tightly at room temperature, a few more days if stored in the fridge.
