Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter to the bananas and mix until creamy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

To make the streusel, combine the chopped macadamia nuts, shredded coconut, light brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Drizzle in the melted butter and toss with a fork until crumbly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the coffee cake batter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
