I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself, another banana recipe?! Heck ya! This Banana Snack Cake is the “BOMB”, LOL. It’s made with basic pantry staples and is really quite versatile. Great any time of the day but honestly, my favorite is for breakfast with a cup of coffee. 🙂 Just look at that yumminess!

For many years, I have made this banana cake without streusel on top and it is great that way too. However, I was looking for more of a breakfast, coffee cake type of treat so adding streusel seemed like the way to go. And, let me tell you, it is a perfect marriage. LOL. But hey, if you aren’t fond of nuts or a streusel topping in general, simply leave that off. Either way, you are going to love it!

Did I mention yummy and made with pantry staples? 🙂 It doesn’t get any better than that! And, during these crazy times right now, anything we can make with the basics that most of us have, the better.

Give it a try and let me know how you enjoy it. And, if you love bananas as much as I do, you should check out this Banana Bread recipe. It’s one of those good old fashioned recipes like grandma used to make.

Until next time…Cheers!
