Coffee Cake Minis

Coffee cake is one of the tastiest baked goodies on the planet. Super moist cinnamon-y cake with an even yummier butter-y crumble-y streusel topping (my favorite part honestly, if i can streusel it, I am.)

I make them as often as I can in many different flavors. In the fall is when my heart needs one the most. I love to do apple, pumpkin, or sweet potato... ohhhhh so good, and it is definitely good for the soul too. This one is just a basic cinnamon one that I make when i really, really need one.

My kids love just about all sugar filled baked goods, but when I tell them I am making these they explode with excitement. Probably because I consider it a breakfast food..it is called coffee cake after all.

You do not want to over bake these, so keep a close eye on them. I usually pull mine out when there is just the slightest bit of cake coming out on the toothpick, or skewer when checking doneness.

You can go a step further with the goodness and make a drizzle for when they are done if you like. It is 2 Tbs of milk to a 1 cup of powdered sugar. Adding more of either if you need to get the right consistency.
