I wonder if cherry coffee cake with vanilla glaze or orange coffee cake with orange/vanilla glaze would be awesome to wake up to! Yum! Really, the options seem endless!

This recipe is wayyyy better than any banana bread I have made! Flavor is so good, moist, light! Wow! I used a 1/4 cup of sour cream instead of buttermilk, cause I always end up throwing away more buttermilk than I can use! It can out perfect! Wow I can’t stop just saying wow, so good! Glad I came across this recipe.

Hello Sam! Amazing recipe will definitely try it! Just a request, could you please (if you can) turn this recipe in a video? I really love seeing how it should be done and I really look forward to the visual results; I would really be happy if you could! Thank you for all of your effort in your recipes, and these never fail the first time!

In reply to Ashley Riello. Hi Ashley! I'm so sorry I missed this! I will update it. 1/3c of granulated sugar is 66g, and 1/2c of brown sugar is 100g. :)

Hi there, would you happen to know the metric measurements for the sugar in the topping? I may just be missing it but I didn’t see it ingredients list, just the cups

In reply to Sam. Thank you, Sam, for taking the time to answer my question. I'll thin it a bit with some milk and give it a try.

In reply to Laurie. Hi Laurie! I have not tried it personally so I can't say for sure how it would work. I think it could potentially work, but it may need to be thinned a little bit first.

Question…can I use Greek yogurt in place of the buttermilk?

In reply to Syndee. This is an awesome and delicious recipe. It's also very forgiving. I did x1.5 to make it in a 13x9. I had 3 bananas but only 2 eggs as I was out. I also added coconut instead of chocolate. It came out beautifully. Thank you, Sam, for all you do.

In reply to Carol. Hi Carol! I'm not sure how much they will rise. I do have a banana muffin recipe you could check out. :)

In reply to Maria B Rugolo. I can't see coffee anywhere in this recipe

In reply to Maria B Rugolo. Hi Maria! I haven't ever tried using bananas handled this way, but what you are describing sounds like it should work. If you do try it, I would love to know how it goes. Yes you will need to increase the recipe by 50% for a 9 x 13. :)

Question please. Your coffee cake recipe is a winner. I can’t wait to try this banana coffee cake. Two questions please: I always freeze my bananas when they are overly ripe. Can I thaw, squeeze out excess liquid, measure and use for this recipe? AND
To make this into a 9×13, would I increase the recipe by half?
Thank you Sam.

In reply to Kelsey. Hi Kelsey! I have not tried it. It would probably soften and not remain crisp, but it could still be delicious. :)

Have you ever tried a layer of the streusel in the middle of the cake? I love the cake so good!! Just wondering!

This cake is fantastic! I had really very overripe bananas and intended to bake a banana bread. But how resist to streusels?? And chocolate chips ? It turned out beautifully, soft and not overly „banana“ (if that makes sense) with super crunchy streusels on top. Will most certainly bake it again!
