Cheeky monkey banana bread

This banana bread recipe was given to me by a dear friend of mine. It worked for both our cheeky monkeys as it is vegan-he cheeky monkey is allergic to eggs, and mine to dairy, so this really appealed to me on many levels...add in the fact that it is delicious, and we have a winner :D
I am currently auditioning my old recipes as entries for the school bake sale at the Christmas fair, and this recipe literally fell into my lap. As i said above, this is a really fabulous recipe, but i wanted to put a little twist on it, so after scanning the internet, i decided to put a crumble topping on it. The outcome is divine! You can make it with or without, but as the recipe makes two loaves, may i suggest you make one with, and one without? :D
Without further ado, here is the banana bread recipe:
Take 3.5 cups of plain flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tbsp+1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda and 0.5 tsp salt and mix together in a bowl. add 3 or 4 mashed bananas, 1/3 cup veg oil, and 1/4 cup soy/oat/coconut milk (i use Koko coconut milk). Mix well. You will end up with a very thick, chunky batter. Divide between two loaf tins and then (if you want) add the crumble topping...0.25 cup of plain flour, 0.25 cup of sugar and 0.25 cup of oats, cut in 2 tbsp until it resembles breadcrumbs. divide into 2 and spread over the top of the banana breads. Bake at 180C for 50 minutes...enjoy!
