Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 3 large ripe bananas, peeled and halved
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup 5% greek yogurt
- ½ cup almond milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the bananas for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a crumble forms for the streusel topping and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla extract, eggs, roasted bananas, yogurt, and almond milk. Mix with an electric mixer until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
- Transfer the batter to the lined baking dish, sprinkle the streusel topping on top, and bake for 20 minutes. Cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until mostly set in the middle.
- While cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with the glaze.
Notes
Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
For a nutty flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the streusel topping.
Adjust the glaze sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar.
