This fall staple combines your favorite autumn desserts - Pumpkin Bread, Banana Bread & Coffee Cake!
The cold weather always makes me want to bake. And this is one of my favorite things to make as soon as it starts getting chilly out. It combines all three of my favorite desserts to bake, but they all go SO well together. Pumpkin spice in banana bread is amazing and then to add the brown sugar cinnamon crumble in the middle and top of the cake is absolute perfection.
The pumpkin puree in the cake makes it so moist and gives the amazing fall flavor you’re craving. I used this Organic Pumpkin Puree and it gave the cake the perfect consistency. The ripe bananas also allows you to use less sugar than you normally would, since it gives a natural sweetness which is just a plus.
Here is what you’ll need to make this Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread Coffee Cake:
Eggs
Olive Oil
Cane Sugar
Ripe Bananas
Pumpkin Puree
Milk
Water
Flour
Baking Soda
Salt
Cinnamon
Butter
Brown Sugar
Powdered Sugar
Maple Syrup
Once you mash the ripened bananas, you mix the rest of the wet ingredients together. Add in the dry ingredients right into the wet ingredients and combine them together. Pour half of the batter into the pan. Make your filling/topping by combining all the ingredients listed. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the first layer of the cake batter. Then pour in the rest of the batter and sprinkle the rest of the crumble. Bake until done and then make the maple glaze. Pour over the cooled cake, serve and enjoy!
