Mini Morning Coffee Cakes
Set your alarm for “cake” o’clock! Made in the Muffin Maker, these mini cakes are already perfectly portioned, which means no messy slicing—all the yummy, crumbly topping stays on the cake, instead of ending up on the counter. And we are so down for cake first thing in the morning! Serve alongside yogurt and berries for a balanced, nutritious breakfast.
Perfectly Balance Your Plate
For breakfast, serve with 3⁄4 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt and 1 cup fruit.
Ingredients
CAKE
STREUSEL
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk cake mix with eggs, milk, oil, 1 tsp cinnamon, and vanilla until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine almond flour, brown sugar, and remaining 1⁄2 tbsp cinnamon. Stir in melted butter. Streusel mixture should be crumbly.
- Divide half the batter into Muffin Makers so wells are 1⁄3 full (about 2 tbsp each). Sprinkle 1⁄2 tbsp streusel into each well. Top with remaining batter, then remaining streusel.
- In two batches, microwave on high for 2 1⁄2 min. Rest in pan for 5 min before unmolding. Or, bake in preheated 375° F oven for 13–15 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before unmolding.
