Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake (Grain & Dairy Free) |

I am going to be so bold as to say, this is one of my favorite recipes I've ever created. Partly, because I'm proud of myself—grain-free baking isn't easy! But after several years of experimentation, I think I've found a basic formula that creates a wonderfully tender, moist crumb.
To me, desserts or treats like coffee cake are so much greater than the sum of their sugary parts. They're a gathering point, a way of creating community over something homemade and indulgent. Holiday mornings at my parents' often include cinnamon rolls or a loaf of buttery banana bread because they herald a special day, one worthy of celebration and remembrance. It's not about eating something "bad" for you.
So why not keep everything that is wonderful and sentimental about this tradition, but make it a little healthier? This Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake is full of healthy protein, fiber and nutrients. It's completely free from refined sugar, and it uses only the highest quality ingredients like pastured eggs and omega 3-rich walnuts. But I promise you, it's just as delicious as anything you can find at a local bakery.
