Coffee cake is one of those comfort foods that is a breakfast treat that you may indulge in very rarely, but what if I said you can now have your coffee cake and still reach your summer goals? I am a coffee cake lover, and thought there had to be a way to create this sweet, rich goodness that could be considered a healthy option for everyday indulgence. This super-simple coffee cake crumble is to die for, and makes the perfect breakfast, anytime snack or even incredible dessert. That’s right, you can now have dessert for breakfast and still reach your ab goals. Each serving of this protein-packed cake has ONLY 230 calories, 14 net carbs, 18 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. I cannot wait for you to give this crumble a try and let me know what you think.

GINA’S COFFEE CAKE CRUMBLE
Ingredients
Cake:
• ½ cup oats (regular or quick)
• 1 scoop vanilla protein (I used Devotion Angel Food Cake)
• 2 egg whites
• ½ cup coffee
• 2-3 packets of stevia or better yet, I used Devotion Nutrition’s flavored stevia in Monkey Bread flavor
• Dash of cinnamon
• 1 tsp of baking powder
Crumble:
• 1/4 cup of almond meal
• 1 egg white
• 2 packets of stevia (I used Devotion Nutrition’s Monkey Bread Flex Flavors)
• Dash of cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare all cake ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Place in loaf pan sprayed with coconut oil spray. Place batter in pan and set aside. Spray skillet with coconut oil spray and allow to heat up while you prepare the crumble. In a small bowl, add almond meal, egg white, stevia (regular or Devotion Flex Flavors) and a dash of cinnamon. Add to skillet and allow to cook while using spatula to create “crumbles.” Once golden brown, add over top cake batter and place in oven to cook for about 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Be sure NOT to overcook. Eat while warm, or allow to cool. Even better … dip in coffee. Enjoy!
Makes 2 servings.
