Banana Pecan Coffee Cake Recipe

This banana pecan coffee cake is moist, flavorful, and topped with a delicious crunchy streusel. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon coffee break.


Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt

For the Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.


2. Make the Streusel:

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly. Fold in the chopped pecans and set aside.


3. Prepare the Cake Batter:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Assemble the Cake:

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.


5. Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


6. Cool and Serve:

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Tips and Variations

  • Add-Ins: Mix in chocolate chips or raisins for added flavor.
  • Make It Ahead: The cake stays moist and delicious for up to 3 days. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Replace butter with coconut oil and sour cream with a dairy-free alternative.

This banana pecan coffee cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy! ☕🍌✨
