Orange-Banana-Walnut Coffee Cake

This is my adaptation of a banana bread my daughter made recently. Hers was only bananas, and she felt it was too dry, but I loved it! So, naturally, I made a couple substitutions and some additions. Preheat your oven to 350° Spray an 8"-9" square glass pan with oil. Hers was baked in little loaf pans, but my pans are too big for that, so -baked in a square (or round) pan- It's A Coffee Cake!


In a medium mixing bowl, whisk these together:

1-1/3c all purpose flour
2/3c corn flour
1t baking soda
1/2t salt
1T cinnamon
2T ground chia and flax seeds

In a large mixing bowl, mash and whisk together these ingredients:

2 lg. pasture-raised eggs
4oz. avocado oil
1T Mexican vanilla
1c brown sugar
1/2c golden raisins
3 lg. ripe bananas
1c chopped walnuts
zest of 1 lg. orange

Add the dry ingredients to the big bowl, about half at a time. Combine just until everything is mixed together with no dry patches. Pour this into the prepared pan, top with cinnamon sugar.

Bake until it passes the toothpick test, about 50 minutes. Cool completely before loosening the edges and cutting into squares. This turned out great! Nice for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. . .Lin
