Ingredients
Gluten Free Coffee Cake
- 3 ea large eggs
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ½ cup almond milk
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups almond four
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Cinnamon Streusel Filling*
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp cashew butter or sub almond butter
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Vanilla Bean Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or sub vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp water to thin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9x9 tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- To the same bowl, add the remaining dry ingredients - your almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Prepare your cinnamon streusel filling - in a small bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, coconut oil, and cashew butter. Mixture should stick together easily.
- To the parchment-lined 9x9 pan, add half the batter. Use a spatula to spread into a single layer, batter will be thick.
- Next, add you cinnamon streusel layer, using fingers to press lightly into the batter so it sticks.
- Finish by topping with remaining batter. Again, use a spatula to spread in a single even layer.
- Move pan to the oven and bake at 350F for ~35-45 minutes. Cake top should be nicely browned, and a knife/toothpick inserted in the middle should come out batter-free. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Optional - whisk together ingredients for homemade vanilla bean glaze and top cake with the glaze. Enjoy!
Notes
*double the streusel recipe if you want to add extra on top of the cake, and make sure to lightly press into the batter with your fingers so it sticks.
