    Delicious Banana Bread Coffee Cake With Cinnamon Glaze

    Feb 5, 2015 · 11 Comments

    Today, I am playing around with Valentine's Day Treats.


    See the aftermath...



    I can't wait till my kids get off the bus so they can get a tasty surprise, I seriously love surprising them with fun food!  Stay tuned over the next week for what I came up with.


    You know how we all run to the food store to get "milk, bread and eggs" whenever a snowstorm or hurricane is in the forecast?  I think that banana's should be mentioned in that mantra...don't you?

    I'd love to know how many pounds of banana's are consumed annually.  I'm sure it's craaaazy!

    Sure I like to eat a banana from time to time, but the sweet spot for me is when the banana's begin to turn and I can bake with them...oooh yeah!

    I like to change up what it is I do with brown bananas I've done the standard Banana Bread, Banana Bread Cookies, Banana & Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with a Cinnamon Buttercream (that buttercream is unbelievable...you have to make it!!) and this over-the-top Toffee Crunch Banana Bread that I made for one of the sites I develop recipes for.  Last week I decided to change up my standard Banana Bread and make it into more of a Banana Bread Coffee Cake and if the speed in which it vanished from this earth is a measurement of its tastiness, well then as my kids would say, it was epic!

    If you make something with old banana's other than what I mentioned above, please share it with me...I would love to hear about it! I'm always looking for new things to try.  Thanks!!

    Banana Bread Coffee Cake
    1 cup sugar
    1 stick of butter, room temp
    1 egg
    ½ cup heavy cream
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 very ripe bananas 
    2 cups flour
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon baking soda
    ½ teaspoon baking powder

    Crumb Topping
    ½ cup powdered sugar
    ¼ cup brown sugar
    ¼ cup oats (optional)
    ⅓ cup flour
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    Pinch of salt
    4 TBS butter

    Cinnamon Glaze
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1 cup powdered sugar
    ½ teaspoon vanilla
    2 TBS milk

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Mix together sugar, butter, egg, cream and vanilla in a large mixing bowl, with your mixer on medium.  Add in your bananas and mash them a bit (with a potato masher) then add in your cream.  Add flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix in a small bow until just combined, then add that to your batter and mix until just incorporated.

    Pour batter into your well-greased loaf pan. Combine the topping ingredients and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until crumbly, then sprinkle the mixture liberally over the loaf.

    Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted comes out mostly clean (banana bread is thick...so a little moist crumb adhering to the stick is ok...just not a wet batter.)

    To make the glaze combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until smooth.  Once cake cools, drizzle glaze over-top.

    Colleen's Notes: You can totally add in a handful of chocolate chips or cinnamon chips to your topping if you like.

    Hope you love it!!

    Enjoy!

      This looks utterly and positively delicious. I love banana bread so this would be a big win for me.

      I used to hate coffee cake because I thought it had coffee in it. Ha. I'm not a coffee fan so I had never tried one. So funny when I found out coffee cakes didn't actually contain coffee. Ha. I'm a dork.

      Have you tried banana bread or banana coffe cake with coconut yet? It's the bomb. Although now I'm craving the toffee crunch version you mentioned. That sounds amazing.

      We always have bananas in the house (that would be an interesting statistic to know how many pounds of bananas are consumed!) and most of the over ripe ones end up in a smoothie. But seeing your delicious list of recipes - including this coffee cake - is inspiring me to bake!

      I purchase bananas for the sole reason of baking with them. It's my favorite. Now this banana bread. Genius. Crumb topping and a glaze is genius.
