This is a great tasting breakfast or afternoon coffee cake. Without the extra sweetness of sugary frosting it doesn't have the sugar crash that comes with heavier cakes. We made this as muffins and as a cake; it's a versatile recipe and super easy to make. If you're making muffins, check for doneness after 30 minutes.

Other Great Breakfast Ideas

After giving this banana oatmeal crumb cake a try, give these other suggestions of ours a try. Figuring out what to make for breakfast on the weekends can get hard, especially if your family is sick of the same old same old.

The kids will surely love making stuffed French toast! There are a lot of different ways to go about making stuffed French toast, but we feel that raspberry cheesecake is a great flavor that the whole family will love. Your kids can give you a hand making this. You'll appreciate the extra hands, and they'll appreciate food more if they're the ones who cooked it.

Another great idea is to make a coffee cake. Coffee cake is named as it is not because it contains coffee, but because it is often eaten early in the morning with coffee. Cinnamon is a common flavor for coffee cake, but you can go big with whatever flavor you want!

Our final idea is to make a new flavor of pancake or waffle that you haven't tried before. There are so many different flavors to try. Red velvet pancakes are a great option, or try chocolate peanut butter for an option the kids will love. This is also a great way to switch up breakfast without having to try something that's completely new to you. Just switch out whatever flavor of pancake you normally make with a new one!
