  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Coat a 9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. For the topping, combine gluten free flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. You can use a food processor or save some water and just use your hands! You will get the same crumble texture and you don’t have to break out a dish. Stir in walnuts if you choose to use them.

  5. Beat butter with a mixer at medium speed about 30 seconds or until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat 3 to 4 minutes or until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each.
  6. Add vanilla and bananas and beat until well blended.
  7. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing after each addition only until smooth.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with crumb topping.
  9. Bake for about 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes and then remove cake out of pan and cool on wire rack completely.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Luckily coffee cake isn’t JUST for breakfast! I could definitely have coffee cake after lunch or as a yummy dessert. Enjoy with a delicious cup of tea or coffee! YAY ENJOY!
