*Gluten Free* Coffee Cake
Please don’t fall of your chairs and die when I tell you what this cake is made of ………………….. beans.
Yes, beans.
Don’t make that face! It’s delicious! Seriously, I was really skeptical too but Kelly @ the SpunkyCoconut really proved me wrong.
This past weekend my little ‘baby’ sister graduated from college!
Awwww she’s so cute! 🙂
So all the kids were at home and it was Mother’s day on Sunday. I wanted to treat my mom to a breakfast that she didn’t have to lift one finger to make. My sister is SUPER gluten intolerant and I try to eliminate it from my diet most of the time as it just makes me feel bloated and gross. Anyway, so I made the entire breakfast Gluten Free (GF). I came across this recipe for GF coffee cake and HAD to try it.
I’ll admit I was picturing like “health” food cake, weirdo texture, not great taste etc…. but in all honestly (sorry family) I thought they’d be a good group to test it out on and would understand if it tasted like yarn 🙂
But low and behold, it did not taste like yarn it tasted AMAZING!! Moist and delicious and didn’t taste like a ‘sacrifice’ at all. Just as good (if not better) than ANY coffee cake I’ve had. Everyone loved it.
*Gluten Free Coffee Cake*
Cake
Add to food processor:
2 cups white beans (canned or cooked yourself- make sure they’re room temperature)
6 eggs
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup honey
Puree well.
Then Add:
1/4 cup coconut oil, liquified/melted
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1.5 tsp baking powder
Puree well.
Pour batter into large rectangular greased pan.
Crumble Topping
Puree the following:
3 cups of walnuts
2 tbsp butter, ghee, or coconut oil
1/3 to 1/2 cup coconut sugar (depending how sweet you like)
1 tbsp cinnamon
Spread the crumble over the top of the batter.
Using a fork or knife, really swirl and press the topping into the batter.
Then pat the topping down.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 25-30 minutes until just starting to brown on top and batter isn’t “wiggly”
There you have it! Delicious and healthy coffee cake. I promise you’ll like it! I served with my rendition of THIS & a fruit salad. Yummmmm-O.
See- not a whole lot of it left 🙂
This weekend is my bachelorette party with all my bestest friends in the whole wide world ❤ so hopefully I’ll be able to share some fun shenannigans with you next week 🙂 🙂 Have a great weekend!

….. every time I read “they’d understand if it tasted like yarn”, I crack up. It was excellent! and the first time your little brother voluntarily ate beans! (And your Mother loved being spoiled rotten!) xo

This is so weird it’s begging to be cooked – just to see how it all works.
