• 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

To make the streusel topping, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and melted coconut oil in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly and evenly coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice the cake into 8 pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
