    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!

    • INCREDIBLE Banana Coffee Cake

    Combine your two favorite breakfast treats (banana bread and coffee cake) into the most delicious and moist INCREDIBLE banana coffee cake you’ll ever have!

    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.

    What is Coffee Cake?

    Coffee cake is a single layer cake with a sweet, cinnamon-infused flavor and streusel top made from flour, butter, and sugar. Streusel can also be layered inside of the cake like a filling. Fruit variations are prevalent, with blueberry being the most common. Nuts and additional spices are often added to create deeper flavor and texture. A sweet cake intended to be eaten with coffee or tea.

    *See recipe card below for exact measurements/ingredients

    If you like an extra sweetness, feel free to make a glaze using powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk!

      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!
