This is one amazing recipe! I made a double batch & brought it to work. Within 30 minutes the entire cake was gone. Emails came in asking me for the recipe, with many stating it was the best coffee cake/ banana cake they ever had. It is very light, fluffy and flavorful. I put half of the nuts in the middle and half on top, covered it with foil for half the bake time, then removed the foil to let the sugar/cinnamon/nut mix on top get crunchy. I did add some extra extremely vipe bananas, too. I bake weekly and am always trying new recipes. This makes my top 10.

Using old fashioned oats browned lightly in a small pat of butter in place of nuts made this allergen friendly and absolutely adored by the recipients. A fabulous recipe!! One small note: use butter/flour in every nook of your Bundt pan- not cooking spray. Spray inhibits the rise a little- a fact I read AFTER baking. In any event, no one was disappointed with it as made with pan spray. Great, great recipe.
