Healthy Coffee Cake — a fluffy and moist vanilla cake with a cinnamon-sugar layer hidden inside and a delicious crumble on top. So sweet and addicting and delicious, it’s seriously hard to believe it’s refined sugar free, low fat, high protein, high fiber and gluten free!
Can you believe it’s February already?! At work, we have to date everything we bake off so we know exactly when each dessert was made. All day yesterday I was writing 1/31 (even 1/30 a few times) instead of 2/1 because it’s hard to comprehend that it’s already the second month of the new year.
And speaking of the new year… RESOLUTTIONNSSS!
*crickets*
Did we all forget about those?
*whistles and looks away*
One of my resolutions this year was to bake more and more healthy desserts for y’all 🙂
Have you fallen in love yet?
And speaking of falling in love… VALENTINE’S DAAAAYYYY!
*irritated groans*
Don’t worry guys. Whether you’re single or taken, I have the solution for you: HEALTHY COFFEE CAKE.

This Coffee Cake is a fluffy and moist vanilla cake with a cinnamon-sugar swirl inside, plus a delicious crumble on top. It’s seriously hard to believe it’s refined sugar free, low fat, high protein, high fiber and gluten free!

For the Cake:
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9″ cake pan with cooking spray and line with a parchment paper circle.

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder and salt.

To Assemble:
