Ingredients

For the cake:

• almond flour – a great option for gluten-free + grain-free baking
• baking powder + baking soda – using both helps to achieve the right balance and flavor
• fine sea salt
• eggs – room temperature helps to mix your batter with ease
• maple syrup – this natural sweetener is rich in antioxidants and potassium
• vanilla
• Greek yogurt – this adds moistness and creaminess to the cake – and it is high in protein!

For the crumb topping:

• coconut sugar – this unrefined sugar has a caramel-like taste and is delicious in this recipe
• almond flour
• cinnamon – this lends that toasty, comfy vibe
• sea salt
• melted coconut oil

Instructions

Start by preheating the oven to 350. Then line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

Next, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients – almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine sea salt.

Then stir in the wet ingredients – eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla.

Finally, gently fold in the Greek yogurt.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and set aside.

To make the crumble topping add the ingredients to a small bowl and use your fingers to mix it together until a sandy texture forms.

Sprinkle the topping mixture over top of the batter in the baking dish. Pop this into the preheated oven to bake.

Check with a toothpick at the 35-minute mark. If it comes out clean the cake is ready to come out of the oven. Keep baking until the toothpick is clean – up to 45 minutes. If the top starts to brown too quickly you can cover the pan with foil until the cake is baked.

Once it has cooled you are ready to slice it into squares. Serve with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy.

FAQs, Tips, and Substitutions

• How do I store this coffee cake? Freshly baked coffee cake can stay in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for about three days. After that store any leftovers covered in your refrigerator for up to a week longer. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
• Can you freeze coffee cake? For freezing this recipe, wrap the cake tightly with plastic freezer-safe wrap or aluminum foil then place it in a freezer bag. This will last 2-3 months in the freezer. Defrost it by opening the freezer bag and letting it sit at room temperature for a couple of hours before serving.
• TIP! Wait until the cake has cooled completely before slicing. This takes 30 minutes to an hour.
• Substitute sour cream for the Greek yogurt in the cake batter. For dairy-free use 1/4 cup of olive oil or avocado oil instead.
• Avocado oil or butter are both great swaps for the coconut oil in the streusel topping.
