Hello hello my banana bread loving friends!

You guys know at this point that I have an actual obsession with all things banana bread. I believe there are over 1 dozen banana bread recipes up on the blog now and I don’t see the end in site. I am a self-proclaimed banana bread obsession person and there is truly nothing better than a slice of warm banana bread for dessert or breakfast or snack. Or really whenever you want to eat it.

This loaf is one of my favorites yet. It is a banana bread coffee cake made with a crumb topping. It is a healthier streusel than they usual bakery one and there is no gluten, dairy or grains in this recipe. Oh and no refined sugar here either.

This recipe is one of those baked goods that can fool anyone into thinking they aren’t even eating something “healthier”. I also love that this loaf freezes really well. So you can bake it and freeze half (if you have that self control ha!). I plan on baking some more to keep in the freezer for when the baby comes soon.

If you guys make this recipe, let us know below! I love hearing from you guys and what you think!!

What ingredients you need to bake banana bread coffee cake with a delicious crumb topping:

  • Coconut oil – or you can use avocado oil or another natural baking oil
  • Coconut sugar – I haven’t tried a sub but I don’t recommend using maple syrup or honey instead here
  • Eggs – I haven’t used flax eggs but they may work!
  • Mashed banana – about 3 small ripe bananas or 2 large
  • Vanilla extract
  • Almond flour or almond meal – both can work
  • Tapioca flour – or arrowroot flour can work as well
  • Cinnamon
