Chocolate Chip Banana Coffee Cake Recipe
I had one of those moments recently when I took an inventory of the kitchen pantry; fruits and vegetables in the fridge, spices in the cupboard, and meat and frozen goodies in the deep freezer. What I noticed was we still had bananas in the fruit bowl. You know the kind, the ones that get brown and the kids refuse to touch them. So I made my banana coffee cake with chocolate chips, another ingredient I had in limited supply, but wanted to finish.
What I love about coffee cakes, besides being a tasty morning treat, is you can bake them in any pan you have? I used an eight or nine-inch Springform Pan 
Cost to make this recipe.
I calculated the price of this breakfast coffee cake to cost around $4.86 or $0.61 per serving size.
