How to Make Banana Maple Nut Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square baking pan or a 9x2 inch round pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup of chopped walnuts.
- For the topping: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup chopped walnuts, and 6 tablespoons cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Drop the topping in small dollops over the batter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be a deep golden brown.
- Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack or serving plate to cool completely.
