This delicious Banana Coconut Coffee Cake is perfect for company! Sweet banana cake topped with a banana coconut streusel – serve with a pot of hot coffee!

I firmly believe you can never have enough coffee cake recipes, wouldn’t you agree? Traditionally, coffee cake is sweet, but not nearly as sweet as dessert cake. Just enough sweetness to accompany a cup of tea or, of course, coffee. Because of the dialed-down sweetness, they are great for breakfast, brunch, dessert, even snacks. Most have a crumb topping, instead of traditional cake frosting, so they can easily be packed into a lunch box as well. What’s not to love?

We have several occasions coming up later this spring and into the summer that are perfect for serving coffee cake – this would be particularly perfect for Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch. Baked goods and coffee – now that’s the perfect Mother’s Day to me! Then in the summer, I like to bake up a few breakfast treats to take with us on vacation. Does anything sound more perfect than a piece of this Banana Coconut Coffee Cake with a view of the ocean first thing in the morning? Heaven!

When it comes to breakfast and brunch, if I have over ripe bananas waiting to be used on my counter, I usually bake up some banana bread. This time, I decided to try to incorporate those dark, sweet bananas into a coffee cake. With a banana coconut streusel topping, this really takes breakfast to a whole new level!

This is completely optional, but you could serve this delicious coffee cake with slices of fresh banana or even real whipped cream as well. The fresh fruit and coconut really give this coffee cake a tropical flavor twist that everyone will be sure to love!

Banana Coconut Coffee Cake with Dunkin Donuts

International Delight is my every day brand of creamer with flavors including popular hazelnut, french vanilla, caramel, and chocolate. I also enjoy Dunkin’ Donuts coffee because it’s flavor is rich and smooth and I consistently get a great cup of coffee. Which is an absolutely necessity for this busy mom in the morning!
