Why do I need to make flax eggs for this banana bread?

Flax eggs, made from ground flaxseed and warm water, act as a vegan binder in this recipe, replacing traditional eggs to help hold the banana bread together.

How do I ensure the cinnamon streusel topping doesn't burn during baking?

The recipe suggests covering the loaf with tinfoil at about 40 minutes into baking to prevent the streusel and top of the bread from overcooking or browning too much.

What kind of bananas are best for this coffee cake banana bread?

For the best flavor and moisture, use very ripe bananas, typically with brown spots on the peel, as they are sweeter and easier to mash.

Can I prepare the streusel ahead of time for this recipe?

Yes, you can mix the streusel ingredients ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to layer it into and on top of the banana bread batter.

How should I store leftover Coffee Cake Banana Bread?

Once completely cooled, store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or wrap it well and freeze slices for longer enjoyment.

How to Prepare Coffee Cake Banana Bread [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and/or line a 9″x5″ loaf pan.
For the flax eggs, combine ground flax and warm water in a small bowl, stir, and set aside to thicken.
In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, mash bananas using a fork or masher.
Add melted coconut oil and sugar to bananas and stir together.
Add in flax eggs, dairy free milk and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
Add dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix together until fully incorporated.
Prepare the streusel topping by mixing all dry ingredients together (flour, brown sugar and cinnamon), then adding in melted coconut oil. Stir well until you have a course wet mixture.
Pour 1/2 of the banana bread batter into the pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the streusel topping onto the batter.
Pour in the remaining banana bread batter, and top with the rest of the streusel. Pat down the streusel so it’s lightly embedded into the batter.
Bake in preheated oven for 55-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. I covered my loaf in tinfoil at about 40 minutes to prevent the top from overcooking.
Allow loaf to fully cool before removing from pan and slicing. Once cool, cut into 8 slices.
Enjoy!
