Whole Grain Coffee Cake, Two Ways

Overnight wholegrain coffee cake is a delightful and wholesome breakfast or brunch treat that you prepare the night before, allowing for a stress-free morning.

This coffee cake begins with a hearty foundation of whole-grain flour, which imparts a nutty and slightly rustic flavor to each bite. The texture is both tender and moist, making it a comforting and filling choice for breakfast. The use of wholegrain flour adds a nutritious twist, providing a good dose of dietary fiber and 40 + essential nutrients.

Generously swirled throughout the cake is a cinnamon-scented streusel topping that creates a delightful contrast in both texture and taste. The streusel is a blend of turbinado sugar, cinnamon, and nuts, forming a sweet and crumbly layer that adds a burst of flavor with every bite.

What sets this coffee cake apart is the "overnight" aspect. By preparing it the night before, you allow the flavors to meld and the wholegrain flour to absorb moisture, resulting in an incredibly moist and flavorful cake when baked in the morning. It also means you can wake up to the inviting aroma of cinnamon and baked goods wafting through your kitchen.

When served warm, perhaps with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea, this overnight whole-grain coffee cake becomes the ultimate comfort food, making mornings feel a little cozier and more enjoyable. It's a wholesome and indulgent treat that showcases the beauty of whole-grains and the convenience of make-ahead breakfast options.
