Week 89: Chocolate Chip Banana Coffee Cake

I love a good coffee cake to start off my morning on a rainy Seattle Saturday. This chocolate chip banana coffee cake was no exception.

Jump to the recipe!

Banana bread on its own is great, but I think the texture of a coffee cake makes the dessert even more irresistible.

The chocolate chips are optional, but I personally can’t get enough of chocolate chip banana bread, so I added them to the recipe.

Not only is the cake topped with crumble, but it’s also filled with a cinnamon sugar swirl. You will get so much flavor in just one bite!
