Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together blueberries, mashed bananas, eggs, flax seed meal, and wheat germ until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In the same bowl, gently fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, rolled oats, milk, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour 2/3 of the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with 1/2 of the streusel topping. Gently spoon the remaining batter over the top and sprinkle with the remaining streusel. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (40 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before glazing. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Drizzle the glaze over the warm coffee cake and serve immediately. (1 minute)

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.
