Ever CRAVE coffee cake? It is one of my favorite breakfast pastries when I want to indulge and love that crumbly topping. I talked all about my obsession with crumb topping when I made this banana bread, but it was about time to make a clean version! This recipe came about how most do in my kitchen… a craving and a time crunch. Matt and I were sitting around on a Saturday and all I wanted was a warm piece of coffee cake. So I looked in our pantry and saw some Brown Rice Flour next to the coconut sugar and thought – LETS DO THIS! It also helped that we had raspberries and oranges on hand. The raspberries in this add such an amazing pop of tart next to the sweet crumb topping.
So after deciding what to make I was feeling EXTRA lazy and thought, hmm I wonder how it would be to make just enough for Matt and I to eat, AND cook it in the microwave?! Done and done! About 5 minutes later we had warm coffee cake that was gluten free and refined sugar free! So please pin this recipe and next time you are feeling extra lazy, get out your ramekin or coffee mug and make this thing happen!
The crumb topping just melts around the berries… THANKS BUTTER!
The perfect bite:
