Ingredients

  • 6 T. organic, grass-fed butter, melted
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 large pasture-raised, organic eggs room temp. is ideal
  • 1 cup dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups Otto's Naturals cassava flour
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Filling

  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 T. ground cinnamon

Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup Otto's Naturals cassava flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 8 T. organic, grass-fed butter, cold

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil or butter a 9" glass pie plate or an 8x8" glass baking dish. Combine the cinnamon filling ingredients in a small bowl, stir and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the melted butter and coconut sugar. Add the eggs and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the cassava flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon. Add the yogurt last and stir until the batter is smooth.
  • Spread half of the batter into the pie plate (or baking dish). Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the batter. Spread the remaning coffee cake batter on top.
  • In a food processor, combine the cassava flour, sugar, and cold butter for the crumble topping. Cut the butter into tablespoon size chunks before adding it to the food processor.
  • Pulse until big crumble form. First the crumble will seem loose and only small crumbles will form. Keep pulsing until the butter softens enough to create large crumbles.
  • Spread the crumble topping evenly over the coffee cake. Place the coffee cake on a baking sheet to catch any spills when the crumble topping bakes down (which I have not had happen).
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the coffee cake should come out with only a few dry crumbs. Let the coffee cake cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Cool completely before storing leftovers.
