Banana Cake with Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Streusel Recipe

It was a long week at our house. Caleb got sick and that put a damper on everything. I hate being sick, but I really hate it when my kiddos are sick. It is not fun. I feel helpless and wish I could do something to make them feel better. The only good part, the snuggles. I got lots of snuggles from Caleb this week. If only he would snuggle me when he was well!

After a long week, I think we need and deserve a sweet treat. To celebrate Caleb feeling better and to kick off the weekend, let’s all enjoy a piece of Banana Cake with Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Streusel. I LOVE this banana cake and I think you will too!

Brown bananas make me happy because that means I get to create a tasty treat. I never let them go to waste. I love turning old, ugly bananas into something beautiful…like this cake!

Bananas and hazelnuts are a dream combo. Trust me on this one. I made a simple banana cake and swirled Chocolate Hazelnut Butter into the cake batter. I like to use Justin’s nut butter, but Nutella would also work!

I don’t stop there. I sprinkle the cake with a sweet chocolate chip hazelnut streusel topping. I bet I’ve got your attention now. That’s right, this is not an ordinary banana cake, the chocolate hazelnut swirl and chococate chip hazelnut streusel topping make it extra, extra special!

You might be wondering when you should serve and eat this cake? Anytime is a good time. It is similar to a coffee cake, so it is 100% acceptable for breakfast and brunch. It also makes a great snack, wash it down with a glass of milk. And of course, it makes a killer dessert. Add a scoop of ice cream on the side and you will be in dessert heaven!

This Banana Cake with Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Streusel Topping is a winner! I think you should make it this weekend!

  1. I know exactly what you mean, I’d much rather get sick than the kids….any day of the year! I feel so bad when the little ones get sick, plus, they are up all night. No fun. I always make what I call a recovery dessert when the family all gets better. Sounds like this banana cake with hazelnut streusel topping fits the bill! Will do.

  2. I had something so similar on the menu plan for next week. Just seeing makes me even more excited to make it. Banana and chocolate is just one of my all time fav combos!

  3. This looks sooooo delicious!! Love how you added hazelnuts with banana. Can’t wait to give this a try. Pinned!

  4. Nice to hear that your little one is feeling better – and this is such a beautiful looking cake. I love pairing banana’s and chocolate together – then again, I love anything with chocolate lol.

  5. Looks very tempting…would never have thought to put a topping on Banana a Bread,thanks for the idea.

  6. What a perfect anytime of day cake! I will be sure to pickup some extra bananas at the market this week. Good to know everyone is on the mend.

  7. Snuggles are definitely the best part of having sick kids, that is for sure! And the day when they start eating again and you can have treats!

  8. It can be heart wrenching when your child is sick, because they look to you to make it right for them. I feel like I am letting them down.
    But all is well now and this is a lovely coffee cake. Hazelnuts are a particular favorite of mine. So this rings my bells.

    I don’t normally talk about ME, but please make note of the slight name change from Wild Goose Tea. New web design—whoopee and am adding new features along the way.

  9. My daughter made a gluten free version of this today and it is almost gone! Our family can’t stop eating it. We love banana bread and this was a delicious twist to ordinary banana bread!

  10. This cake looks beautiful, I would love a piece right now. Iโ€™m definitely going to give this ago as I love the flavour combination.

  11. 5 stars
    This recipe is sensational! You wouldn’t associate it with normal banana bread/cake. It is moist, luxurious and was very easy!!
