Sour Cream Banana Coffee Cake- This tender coffee cake has a subtle banana flavor, and is filled with a layer of chocolate, cinnamon, and nuts. The crunchy topping makes it extra special!

When I end up with a bunch of overripe bananas, I love whipping up recipes like Banana Muffins, Buttermilk Banana Bread, and even Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies. This coffee cake is a special morning treat I’m adding to the rotation.

Winters in Utah are CHILLY, so when I have time (AKA Saturdays), I like to warm up the house in the morning by baking up a yummy coffee cake. We had some over-ripe bananas, so I decided to whip up a batch of this sour cream banana coffee cake.

I’m not always a fan of chocolate and banana together, but in this recipe it was perfect! I can’t tell you how much my family raved about this yummy coffee cake!

You sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts in the bottom of the Bundt pan, and it bakes into such a delicious topping. Doesn’t  just make you want to rip off a piece and shove it in your mouth? Seriously so good! Paired with scrambled eggs and a fruit smoothie, it is a perfect breakfast that keeps my boys full all morning for at least an hour.
