Grain-Free Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping

Morgan James Eckroth
Alright, gather 'round, my gluten-free, vegan, coffee-loving comrades! Today, I present the Gluten-Free Vegan Coffee Cake. This cake is so good, it’ll make you forget all about those sad, gluten-laden pastries. Each bite is a moist, cinnamon-kissed marvel that leaves you feeling smugly virtuous.
I’m not one to share my food, but this coffee cake is an exception. I indulge in it after my morning shift at Keeper Coffee, paired with a steaming mug of our finest brew. It’s my go-to comfort on a rainy Portland day. Plus, it’s vegan and gluten-free, so it’s basically health food, right?
