I don’t know about you but sometimes I get tired of banana bread.  It seems to be about the only thing I make when I have extra ripe bananas laying around.  Well, that and banana whip….and banana cake….and banana cajeta cashew ice cream.  But that’s it. I swear.

So. I was out looking for a new banana recipe and I stumbled upon this little gem.  I played around with the recipe and it turned out delicious! I honestly cannot stop eating it. Someone needs to pull me away. I’m about to pull a Miranda Hobbes and cover it with dish soap to stop myself from eating anymore.

Stir together chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

In a medium bowl sift together all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

In the bowl of a stand mixer blend together white sugar and butter. Add egg and beat until fluffy. Beat in mashed bananas and milk. Add dry ingredients and blend well.

Spread half of the batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel. Repeat with remaining batter and streusel. Baking until tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 - 40 minutes. Cool coffee cake in pan.

I have definitely been tempted to sabotage food so I don't eat it anymore... sometimes it's so hard to stop when the food is so good! I can definitely see this cake being one of those foods!
