Grain-Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake (makes 9-12 servings):
2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
3 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
3 Tbsp. butter or coconut oil, melted
6 Tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 cup sliced almonds or chopped pecans
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking
dish or pan with butter or coconut oil and lightly dust with almond
flour.
To make the cake:
Combine the almond flour, salt, baking soda, pecans and raisins in a
large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter or
coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla. Make a well inside the dry
ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir the wet
ingredients into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined, the
batter will be very thick. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking
dish. Using a spatula, gently push the batter into place making it as
level as possible.
To make the topping:
Combine cinnamon, butter or coconut oil, maple syrup and pecans or almonds in a bowl. Spread the topping over the cake batter.
Bake for 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the
center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 1
hour on a wire rack. Slice cake into squares and drizzle with Maple
Frosting before serving.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature
for several days. Once you drizzle it, store it in the fridge.
Maple Drizzle:
3/4 cup coconut butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or more to taste)
1/4-1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, almond milk, or coconut milk
pinch of salt
In a small saucepan, heat all ingredients over medium-low heat, stir
until well combined. Consistency should be thin enough to drizzle over
the coffee cake.
***If you eat dairy and prefer a maple cream cheese drizzle…substitute
4 ounces softened cream cheese for the coconut butter and reduce the
heavy cream to 2 Tbsp.-1/4 cup and blend in a small bowl with a hand
mixer until smooth. Again the consistency should be thin enough to
drizzle***
