Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bananas and cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 more minutes. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare an 8×8-inch dish with parchment paper.
For the streusel, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cold butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl until it resembles a crumble. Set aside.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla extract, eggs, cooked bananas, yogurt, and almond milk using an electric mixer.
Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the streusel. Bake for 20 minutes, then cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Check if the center is mostly baked before removing.
While cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
Allow the coffee cake to cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with the glaze.

Notes

Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before applying the glaze for a beautiful finish.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
