Top batter with streusel topping then bake 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick to the center of the cake, it is finished when the toothpick comes out clean or with only a few crumbs

Make Maple Glaze

While coffee cake is baking, make the maple glaze. Whisk all glaze ingredients in a small bowl then pour over the top after coffee cake comes out of the oven

Notes

Use very brown to black bananas for this recipe.

Room temperature ingredients help this coffee cake to bake more evenly.

Spray baking pan with non-stick cooking spray then line it with parchment paper and spray the paper again. This allows for a very easy removal.

Don't overmix once the dry ingredients are added.

Enjoy this coffee cake warm or room temperature.

If you don't have maple cinnamon sugar, here's a quick sub. Add ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to a jar and shake. Use in place of maple cinnamon sugar.
