Vegan and Gluten-free Whole Grain Cinnamon Coffee Cake from Kim's Welcoming Kitchen




For our Mother's Day, my sister and I like to make a little treat for our mom. Because we're both moms, too, though, we don't want to work too hard.

This vegan, gluten-free whole-grain Cinnamon Coffee Cake is the perfect treat for our Mother's Day. It's super easy to pull together, but tastes great. All we need to make our morning complete is some hot coffee, some fresh fruit and this cake. 

If you're still looking for something special to make for your mom, give this Cinnamon Coffee Cake a whirl. (Like the idea of whole-grain treats? You'll love my new book,  Ancient Grains: A Guide to Cooking with Power-Packed Millet, Oats, Spelt, Farro, Sorghum & Teff (Superfoods for Life).

  2. I absolutely love that you use oat flour Kim! It may be old school, but it's still my favorite gluten-free flour to use.

    1. It's my favorite, too, Alisa. It tastes good, it's easy to use, and it's whole grain.
