Soft banana cake made with Greek yogurt, bananas, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and topped with a brown sugar pecan crumble. Nutritious enough for breakfast, and delicious enough for dessert! This Banana Crumble Cake has been a long time favorite recipe in our house. It’s unbelievably soft, has a tender crumb, and a crumble topping that will have you licking your fingers in order to grab every last morsel. Today’s recipe is basically that cake… but a little more suitable for breakfast. I replaced the cream cheese with nonfat Greek yogurt, half of the white flour with whole wheat flour, and the butter with coconut oil. You seriously can’t even tell the difference in taste! This recipe makes a large 9×13 pan of cake, and it’s great for feeding a crowd or even just for quick-and-easy breakfasts during the school week. How do you like your bananas?? Vote on my Facebook page! This Banana Crumble Breakfast Cake has an entire cup of Greek yogurt in it! Your picky eaters will never know… A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE: Be sure to use overly ripe bananas that are soft and have lots of brown spots. This will make the cake sweeter and help to keep it moist. These make great muffins too. If you’d rather make these in a more portable form, simply fill each muffin tin cup with ¼ cup of batter and sprinkle some crumble topping over each one. Bake for 20 minutes. I have not tried making these with ALL whole wheat flour, and I also have not tried replacing the butter in the crumble topping with coconut oil. But I think both of those substitutions are worth trying if you are interested in increasing the nutritional value a little more. I only had pecans on hand, so that’s what I used, but walnuts would work well in the crumble topping also.
