Banana Bread Coffee Cake (Gluten-Free)

Morgan James Eckroth
Hey there, sweet tooth! Imagine this: banana bread and coffee cake had a glorious, gluten-free love child. That’s right, Banana Bread Coffee Cake is here to make your mornings brighter and your coffee breaks a bit more indulgent. It's moist, decadent, and ridiculously easy to make. Plus, it’s gluten-free, so you can impress your friends while pretending you’re actually health-conscious.
I whip this up on lazy weekends when I’m too cool for brunch spots and just want to enjoy a slice (or two) in the comfort of my own kitchen. It’s my secret weapon against gloomy Portland days. And if you think I’m sharing, think again—I like to keep this golden goodness all to myself, thank you very much!
