Ingredients

Coffee Cake Batter

  • 1 ⅔ cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ¾ tsp Baking soda
  • ¼ tsp Table salt
  • ⅔ cup Granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup Light butter substitute I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Light
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¾ cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Brown Sugar Oat Topping

  • 1 ½ tbsp Brown sugar
  • ¾ cup Quick oats
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Organic Honey
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract optional
  • ¼ tsp Table salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix the butter substitute with the sugar. Separately, whisk the eggs and then add them in. Add the vanilla and applesauce; stir to combine.
  • Next, add the yogurt, salt, and leavening agents, mixing until smooth. Add the flour and gently fold in. Mix carefully until a batter forms, and there are no extra pockets of flour. Be careful not to overmix. It will be thick.
  • Make the topping on the stovetop by adding the honey in a medium saucepan, followed by the other ingredients. Stir to coat the oats with the honey and cinnamon. Stop mixing once the mixture is crumbly and remove from heat (add ½ tablespoon of water at a time if needed to achieve desired consistency or if the oats seem too dry).
  • Spread the cake batter in a greased or parchment-lined 9-inch round or 8x8 square pan. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly across the top of the cake batter.
  • Bake the coffee cake for 30-35 minutes or until springy and golden brown. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before unmolding from the pan or slicing.
