This BisQuick coffee cake is sooooo delicious, I managed to wolf down almost a third of this coffee cake. *Inhaled* is a better word and physically made myself seal it up and put it in the freezer. I used the*out of sight, out of mind* strategy, so I would stop being mistaken as Miss Piggy’s doppelganger.
Note to self: With that being said, it’s best to have this around when others are in the house, otherwise the mistaking of your identity will be questionable…aka Miss Piggy. 🙂 It’s hard to stop eating it!

I LOVE BisQuick!
BisQuick is a premixed baking product (General Mills under their Betty Crocker brand) consisting of flour, shortening, salt, and baking powder. It’s famously used in making pancakes, waffles, muffins, rolls, donuts, coffee cakes…and the list goes on! It’s a helpful shortcut in developing and using in recipes, due to ingredients already being in the flour mix, like this one!
BisQuick was invented in 1930 by a sales exec, who stole a chef’s premixed biscuit batter recipe while on a business trip! Sounds sinister, but these things happen every day and here we are!
Secret Recipe Formula for BisQuick
If you don’t have bisquick, there’s the recipe how to make it!
Secret Formula = 1 cup of BisQuick can be substituted by a mixture of 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil or melted butter (or by cutting in 2 1/2 tablespoons Crisco or lard). Eureka!
Whatever kind of day you’re having…this “BisQuick” Chocolate Cinnamon Greek Yogurt Banana Coffee Cake will make everything better for that *golden moment* of the entire day! 🙂 I promise you’ll love this easy Bisquick coffee cake recipe!
