Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the bananas for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
To make the streusel topping, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla in a bowl until crumbly; set aside.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together; set aside.
In a separate bowl, blend maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla extract, eggs, roasted bananas, yogurt, and almond milk with an electric mixer.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and blend until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with streusel topping. Bake for 20 minutes, then cover with foil and bake for another 20 minutes until mostly baked in the middle.
Prepare the glaze by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
Let the coffee cake cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with glaze.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using extra spices like nutmeg in the batter.
Allow the coffee cake to cool completely for easier slicing before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
