Cinnamon Banana Coffee Cake


When I have bananas that are getting quite ripe, I almost always make the Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins. But, this time I wanted to switch it up. I designed a coffee cake recipe that is to die for. It's moist, sweet, and delicious!

Ingredients:

3 very ripe bananas
2 cups sifted whole wheat flour (sift flour before measuring)
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup sugar plus 1/2 cup
1/2 cup vegan butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Egg replacer (equivalent to 2 eggs)
1 tablespoon cinnamon

What to do:

Preheat Oven to 325 degrees fareinheit.
In a small bowl mash bananas well with a fork.
In a medium bowl mix together sifted flour and baking soda.
In a large bowl cream together butter and 3/4 cup sugar for about 1 minute. Add in mashed bananas, then vanilla.
Slowly add in the flour mixture. Then add in egg replacer.
Mix until incorporated.
In a seperate bowl mix together 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Leave just about 1 tablespoon out.
In a greased bundt pan add half of the cake batter. Then pour the sugar-cinnamon mix evenly over the cake batter. Add the remaining cake batter on top of that.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cut the edges of the cake and flip over onto a plate. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mix on the top.
