Best Healthy Coffee Cake
Description
The Best Healthy Coffee Cake uses almond flour as its base, giving it a tender, slightly dense crumb that holds moisture well. The batter blends eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and melted coconut oil for natural sweetness and moisture. A cinnamon swirl layer is sandwiched between two batter layers, adding warmth and spice, while the crumb topping provides a crunchy texture with almond flour, cinnamon, and coconut sugar.
During baking, the cake rises to fill the prepared pan despite the initially small amount of batter. The final cake offers a mildly sweet and cinnamon-infused profile with a mix of soft and crunchy textures. It makes a wholesome addition to a morning meal or afternoon tea.
Enjoy this coffee cake within a few days, stored airtight at room temperature or refrigerated to maintain freshness. Thoroughly whisking the dry almond flour mixture helps prevent clumping, ensuring a smooth batter and consistent texture.
Ingredients
Coffee Cake:
- 3 large egg
- ¼ cup applesauce unsweetened
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Cinnamon Swirl Layer:
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
Crumb Topping:
- ⅔ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 3 - 4 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch or 8-inch round baking tin. Line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the applesauce, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix well.
- In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and baking soda, ensuring there are no clumps.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, whisking gently until a batter is formed.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking tin. It will look like too little, don't worry, the coffee cake rises!
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl layer until it forms a sandy mixture. Sprinkle it evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Top with the remaining coffee cake batter. Again, the batter may look like there is too little, but don't worry because the coffee cake rises!
- In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the crumb topping, mixing until it resembles a sandy texture. Sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow the coffee cake to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to whisk the dry almond flour mixture well to remove clumps for a better texture.
- The batter may seem thin or small but the cake rises nicely during baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for 2 to 4 days to keep it moist.
- Freezing is not recommended as it may affect the texture.
