This brown butter banana coffee cake is the absolute best! With sour cream banana cake, a swirl of cinnamon-sugar, and buttery cinnamon streusel, it's great for breakfast, brunch, or a little snack. It's one of my favorite recipes to make for bachelorette breakfasts, brunch parties, or the holidays!

This recipe is a keeper! The brown butter adds an incredible nutty flavor that makes it so much better than a regular coffee cake. It was perfectly moist, and the streusel topping was delicious.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Butter Perfection 🧈When browning butter, watch carefully and remove from heat the moment it turns golden amber with nutty brown specks to prevent burning.
- Banana Ripeness Hack 🍌Use overripe bananas with dark spots for maximum sweetness and moisture in your coffee cake batter.
- Streusel Texture Secret 🥣Keep streusel ingredients cold and use your fingertips to create a crumbly texture that will give a perfect crispy topping.
- Moisture Lock Technique 💧Add sour cream to the batter to ensure an incredibly moist and tender cake that stays fresh longer.
- Swirl Like a Pro 🌀Use a butter knife to create beautiful cinnamon-sugar swirls by gently cutting through the batter in a figure-eight motion.
