How to Make Banana Breakfast Coffee Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
Make the streusel topping: In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Make the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using a mixer on medium speed for about 30 seconds, until smooth and creamy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3 ripe mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and mixing until just combined. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
