Banana Bread Coffee Cake is a combination of your favorite banana bread and coffee cake. with a streusel topping and icing drizzle

Banana Bread Coffee Cake is a combination of your favorite banana bread and coffee cake. The streusel topping and icing drizzle compliments a hot cup of coffee.

An inviting breakfast or afternoon snack. Is it breakfast or dessert? The answer is both!

I always thought my coconut obsession was more than my banana obsession but after review, all the recipes on this blog Banana wins! You have probably heard me say, “Give me a banana and I will make dessert”, several times across social media.

Bananas are on the weekly grocery list. No banana gets wasted. If it is not just eaten as is, it is in a smoothie or some baked good.

Funny, on this blog I have yet just to have a traditional banana bread recipe. I will get on that next week. In the meantime enjoy my Banana Flips or Banana Bread Pudding.

Coffee! I have one cup in the morning and one cup in the afternoon and this banana coffee cake goes great with a cup.

The Baking Pan I used:

This banana bread coffee cake is baked in a 9×9 square baking pan and cut the cake is cut into 9 equal pieces.

If I don’t share that is 4 1/2 days of delicious noshing. However, I have to share. It is the right thing to do. Or is it????

Some may say that I got carried away with the streusel topping. Some may say it is the perfect amount. When you are layering it on use your own judgment. In some people’s opinion, less is more. (Not mine).

Anyway, my coffee is getting cold so here is the recipe.

Instructions

For the Streusel Topping

1. In a mixing bowl using a fork combine both sugars, cinnamon salt, and butter.
2. Slowly add in flour and use continue to combine using the fork in a cutting action. This will give you that crumbly topping.

2. Continue to whisk until it turns into a nice glaze.
3. You may add more milk to thin the icing’s consistency.

Recipe Notes

Please read the whole recipe before starting. 

The recipe has been broken down into 3 separate sections for ingredients and their directions. 

1. Cake
2. Streusel Topping
3. Icing

I suggest making the Streusel Topping first. Next, make the cake. While the cake is baking make the icing.
