How to Make Banana Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Mix until crumbly.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
