Blueberry Banana Coffee Cake with Pecan Crumble Topping! Sometimes life just doesn't get much better, especially when it involves a delicious home baked good!

This coffee cake would be perfect for breakfast or brunch. Coffee cakes are pretty versatile and can be served anytime of the day.

Other coffee cakes I like to make include Raspberry Almond Coffee Cake, an old fashioned Corn Flake Coffee Cake and this delicious Cranberry Eggnog Coffee Cake.

When making this coffee cake, you will want to use ripe bananas. Look for bananas that have a peel that is really spotted or brown. These bananas are best to use in baked dishes.

Fresh or frozen blueberries?

You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries when making this coffee cake.

Can I use other fruit in this coffee cake?

Yes, you could substitute the blueberries for huckleberries, blackberries or raspberries.

Does coffee cake have coffee in it?

Nope, if you are thinking coffee cake has coffee you are just like my kids! No coffee in coffee cake. The name comes from a cake served with coffee.

However, a coffee cake is delicious with a glass of milk, a cup of hot chocolate, a cup of tea or a cup of coffee!

Step by step directions

  • In a bowl, combine sugar and butter

  • Allow cake to fully cool before serving

Recipe notes

  • This coffee cake is dense and takes a long time to bake. After 50 minutes check to see if it's done. Give the cake pan a little jiggle to see if the center of the cake wiggles. If it does, return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  • Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. The toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs when it is baked through.
  • Use a 2 quart baking dish. I used an 8 x 8" baking dish
  • Allow coffee cake to cool before serving

    Great recipe! Came out very light and fluffy. I used walnuts instead of pecans for the topping/streusel and made mine in a bundt cake pan. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
