This Incredible Banana Coffee Cake is packed with flavor and is the perfect excuse to enjoy cake for breakfast!
Last week, I turned the big 3-4! Since my kids were still on “summer break”, we enjoyed the day by going hiking, swimming, and shopping!
For my birthday breakfast, my hubby made us all this tasty coffee cake! I don’t know about you, but nothing beats cake for breakfast, right?!?!
Not only was this cake a great way to use up the extra bananas I had on hand, but it came together in no time!
The cake itself was moist and had just the right amount of banana flavoring!
Originally, we drizzled a glaze on top, but this time, decided to omit that part to cut down on the sweetness. It ended up being perfect and something we will now do going forward.
If you like an extra sweetness, feel free to make a glaze using powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk!
Whether you enjoy this Incredible Banana Coffee Cake for breakfast or a sweet treat, it’ll be a new favorite! Pair with a cup of coffee, or cold glass of milk!
Since this makes a full 9×13 pan, there is plenty for everyone to enjoy! Plus, leftovers are just as good as on day one, so you can enjoy this for a few days (or freeze for a later date)!

Any good suggestions for egg substitutes for baking?

You can use applesauce in place of egg in cakes, 1 egg equals 1/4 cup applesauce. Be sure to add an extra 1/2 tsp baking powder to the batter to keep it light and fluffy!
