Gluten-free Caramelized Banana Coffee Cake

I am kicking off my “Ten Days of Thanksgiving” on the blog today and starting with this DELICIOUS Gluten-free Caramelized Banana Coffee Cake. I will be sharing some of my favorite holiday recipes for 10 consecutive days and I could not be more excited about them.

I decided to start with a breakfast treat. I usually snack a lot while we are preparing the Thanksgiving meal. It is actually one of my favorite things to have all the family around the kitchen eating and cooking.

I have a serious love for banana bread….like REALLY serious. I wanted to create an epic banana bread recipe and that turned in to this amazing bundt cake. It is kind of a mixture of sticky buns, coffee cake and banana bread. The butter and sugar mixture on the bottom of the pan caramelizes while the bread is cooking so when you flip it over it drizzles down the sides of cake. The batter is not overly sweet so the mixture on top is the perfect complement.

You can easily make this bread ahead of time and having it ready in the morning for when friends and family arrive.

Enjoy!
