Notes

Use organic flour for a more rustic texture
The streusel can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the freezer
For mini loaf pans, adjust baking time to 25 minutes
Buttermilk substitution: combine 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) with 2 tbsp lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes
Frozen slices can be toasted the next day for a quick breakfast
