I love starting my mornings with a BIG cup of coffee. It always gets my day going and is a cozy way to start the day off. Well, your morning coffee’s new best friend is this Cinnamon Crumble Coffee Cake! I truly can’t think of a better combination. This crumble cake has the lightest, fluffiest texture, paired with the soft streusel that tops the cake. It’s got a sugar and spice vibe, with the bite of the cinnamon and the sweetness of the coconut sugar.

I love coffee cakes that are fluffier and that have a crispy top layer to balance out the cake base. This recipe can be made either as a cinnamon loaf, or as a 8×8 pan cake. (Both are pictured below!)

I love it both ways, but I think my favorite is the pan cake!
