Banana Coffee Cake with Chocolate Chip Streusel Recipe #SundaySupper
Got it covered? Yep, that’s the theme this week! I covered a basic banana cake with an amazing chocolate chip streusel. I had a load of bananas to use up so this recipe uses 4. If your banana are super ripe you might want to cut back on the sugar in the cake, it’s up to you. We’re in December now so most people have pretty much thrown out those healthy thoughts.
It’s so very good. I fancied it up by making it in a cake pan, but you can go square if that’s what you are used to. I’m full into the holidays today since it’s Thanksgiving weekend and I’m just riding the wave.
The streusel is thick and full of flavour. So very easy too. The cinnamon is key, it gives the whole cake that wonderful coffee cake flavour. The cake is very dense, it’s not a light coffee cake thanks to the bananas but it’s still pretty wonderful.

- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

That is one beautiful-looking cake on a very pretty cake stand! Bananas, cinnamon and choc chips is a wonderful combination.

Ooooh! I always make my banana bread with chocolate chips in it, so this sounds like a perfect idea right up my alley!
I love coffee cakes. They are so good and I love that they require not frosting or glazes. And I love your cake pedestal! 🙂
I love recipes that use up all my leftover bananas! The streusel on this looks so decadent!

Wow, that is gorgeous, a perfect looking cake!!
Mmmmm….what a delicious way to start the day! I cannot resist streusel!
Frosting and streusel are always the best part of a cake and yours is beyond, Shannon. Very wonderful to have this recipe. My husband dances in and out of buying and eating bananas so there is always a good chance I’ll get a bunch of ripe ones =)
Ohhhh my god this looks amazing! Love the streusel topping, that’s the best part of any coffee cake!

This is a seriously divine banana cake, Shannon, but I especially love that the streusel layer is as thick as the cake part! Yum!

Bananas and chocolate always go together. Especially when there’s cake involved.
And I’m totally streusel-ly incompetent, so I think I’ll just come over and have a slice, okay?
Streusel gets me every time and yours loaded with chocolate chips is just heavenly!!

Chocolate in the streusel? Don’t mind if I do! Also, I really want to be wherever it is that still has grass that green!
Northern California, it’s always the same pretty much! A bit cooler but still with the green grass since it’s getting rainy 🙂
Yes please-four pieces needed stat. Especially love seeing actual grass. It seems so long since we’ve had anything other than white.
