Say hello to your newest addiction in the morning…. & no I am not talking about your large cup of coffee. I am talking about this APPLE & CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE.
Ok, you can still have your large cup of coffee in the morning, but you absolutely need to pair it with a piece of this coffee cake. Although coffee cake does not have coffee in it, it sure does pair great with coffee or even tea. It is not overly sweet and only sweetened with a bit of maple syrup which is why it is a great breakfast option that won’t give you the afternoon crash that most sugar-heavy breakfast cakes will give you.
Ingredients Needed To Make Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake
This coffee cake only requires a handful of ingredients and many ingredients can be swapped out if you do not have them. Read below for swaps.
- Flour– I used a mix of paleo and almond flour but you can use a mixture of oat, all-purpose, or even gluten-free flour.
- Flax Eggs– If you are not vegan feel free to use regular eggs.
- Apple Sauce– If you do not like apples, use mashed banana or even pumpkin.
- Maple Syrup– This is used to sweeten the cake. You can also use honey.
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
- Cinnamon
- Coconut Sugar– Any granulated sugar will work.
- Coconut Oil– Use melted refined coconut oil so you cannot taste the coconut. Swap this out for butter.
