  3. To the same bowl, add your flour and sprinkle your baking powder and salt across the top of it. Stir all of your ingredients together, to form the banana cake batter. Pour the batter into the pan and evenly spread it into the bottom.

  2. Evenly sprinkle the mixture across the top of your coffee cake batter.

  4. Let cool, cut into pieces, and devour!

Recipe Notes

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, this coffee cake should last about a week (but will taste best within the first 3-4 days).
