Oatmeal-Banana Coffee Cake image

A delicious coffee cake made with those overripe bananas. I first made this in 1995. My grandsons Stephen and Kevin liked it so much that they took it in their lunches.

Ingredients

vegetable oil cooking spray
⅓ cup milk
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 ripe bananas
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
¾ cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 10-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
Combine milk and vinegar in a glass to make sour milk; stir gently. Mash bananas in a small bowl to make 1 cup.
Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Cream butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in bananas. Add dry ingredients in 2 batches, alternating with sour milk; mix thoroughly. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Mix brown sugar, flour, and butter for topping together in a bowl. Sprinkle topping over batter, then sprinkle on pecans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
