These Coffee Cake Muffins are a healthier version of classic coffee cake. They are made with a few swaps to lower calories and topped with the favorite cinnamon crumbles.

My go-to muffins is usually these Blueberry Muffins or these Zucchini Muffins, but we had a craving for coffee cake this week and these coffee cake muffins were absolutely perfect!

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 favs into a healthier version. For example, this recipe for coffee cake muffins uses Greek yogurt instead of sour cream that you see in many. They 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.

Coffee Cake Muffins Ingredients

makes 6 muffins

Oat flour, white whole wheat or gluten-free flour

Vanilla or unflavored Protein powder.

Coconut sugar

Cinnamon

Baking powder

Salt

Large egg

Non-fat, plain Greek yogurt

Unsweetened almond or coconut milk

Coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly

STREUSEL TOPPING

oat flour, white whole wheat or gluten-free flour

Coconut sugar

Coconut oil, melted

Cinnamon

dash of nutmeg & salt

 

How to Make 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.

ENJOY!!

    My family and I are simply obsessed with muffins. They are something we could never get bored of. We could indeed enjoy them for all three meals. Homemade muffins are always a good idea. Thank goodness I never have to buy them in the store again.
    Thank you so much for this healthy recipe. I absolutely love it. All of the ingredients really work together. I especially like that you use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Highly recommend everyone to give this recipe a try.
    p.s. I’ve just also saved your inside-out carrot cake muffins recipe. Can’t wait to try this. Sounds amazing!
