For best results, use ripe but not overly soft bananas. This will add the perfect amount of sweetness and moisture to the cake. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for the pecans in the streusel topping. If you don't have flax seed meal or wheat germ on hand, you can omit them without significantly affecting the recipe. To prevent the streusel topping from browning too quickly, tent the cake with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cake for longer storage.
