BANANA CINNAMON BREAKFAST CAKE

Banana Breakfast Cake is a delicious banana coffee cake with a tasty glaze drizzled on top! Everyone loves when we have this for breakfast!

Banana Breakfast Cake is the best kind of breakfast because there’s just something wonderful about having a piece of cake for breakfast. I’m not sure if it’s how delicious it smells baking or how it warms the house up – probably a combination of the two. The blend of ripe bananas and cinnamon is perfect too- don’t skip the crumb topping!

How do you make a quick and easy icing to put on top of coffee cakes?

Use our favorite easy glaze recipe! Drizzle glaze- 3/4 cup powdered sugar + 1 TBSP melted butter + 2 tsp milk, all whisked together. It takes hardly any time and is just the right amount of glaze to make the perfect topping for that morning coffee cake!

Banana Cinnamon Breakfast Cake

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 tsp lemon juice)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt

Crumb Topping

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 or 8×11 glass pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, melted butter, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir until combined. Add in bananas.
3. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix 1/3 of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Repeat until ingredients are completely mixed. (Note: quick breads/ cakes like this do better if mixed by hand! Don’t over mix and it’s okay if there are a few lumps!)
4. Pour batter in the prepared pan.
5. To prepare the crumb topping, combine all ingredients except butter. Cut butter into small pieces and add to the mixture. Using a pastry cutter (or 2 forks) blend the ingredients until crumbly. Pour over top of batter in the pan.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Let cool and drizzle with a simple glaze- 3/4 cup powdered sugar + 1 TBSP melted butter + 2 tsp milk, all whisked together.
