Hey there, friends! Do you ever pair your morning coffee with a slice of coffee cake? Honestly, it wasn’t something I tried until a few years back! Despite its name, I always considered coffee cake as a standalone dessert. But let me tell you, once I tried it with a cup of coffee, my mornings were forever changed. As the name suggests, coffee cake truly shines when enjoyed alongside a steaming cup of joe.
Now, traditional coffee cake tends to be loaded with sugar, both in the cake itself and in the crumbly topping. While we’re all about embracing all ingredients, we also believe in choosing healthier options for our daily indulgences. And that’s where this recipe comes in!
