Healthy Coffee Cake Muffins

When I think of coffee cake, the first thing I think of is that buttery crumble topping and for some reason I couldn’t get it out of my mind this morning.

There are so many options for turning long loved fav’s into a healthier versions. These healthy coffee cake muffins are just right for satisfying the “out of the blue” craving.

I simply swapped out regular sugar for coconut sugar and Greek Yogurt for extra oil and we have another great little snack or breakfast idea…with that delicious crumble topping too!

I made mine with my favorite Bob’s Red Mill One-to-One Gluten Free Flour. I use this flour for many other muffin recipes as well. Try any of these others :

How to Make Healthy Coffee Cake Muffins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a muffin tin with oil or use paper liners.

Combine all the streusel toppings together in a small bowl and mix until crumbly. Set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, coconut sugar, cinnamon and salt

In another small bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, almond milk, and melted (cooled slightly) coconut oil.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.

Stir until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin. Fill each only halfway.

Sprinkle a layer of streusel

Then add a second layer of the batter, then top with more streusel mixture. Press the streusel crumbles gently into the batter on top of the muffin.

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
