Paleo Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

Yum, this is one of the best coffee cakes I've ever made. I made this awhile ago, but it looks even better now because I'm on the whole 30 right now! 😃
Thanks to Real Food with Jessica for this recipe! I'm on a kick with her recipes.'
Can you all do me a favor? If you make a recipe of mine, leave a comment and let me know your thoughts! I'd greatly appreciate it! :)

Paleo Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture-
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tsps cinnamon
Coffee Cake-
  • 3 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil room temperature
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond extract
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil for after baking
Glaze-(I did make this, but personally, I don't think it's worth the work, and makes it taste very coconuty. Plus it's hard to find coconut butter.) 
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter
  • 2 Tbsps honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 Tbsps almond milk

Directions:

    Step 1: Make the cinnamon sugar mixture in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside. 

    Step 2: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a 9x9 square pan with parchment paper.

    Step 3: Make the coffee cake; In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.  

   Step 4: In a large bowl, combine the coconut oil and coconut sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond milk and stir until smooth.

   Step 5: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well, making sure no dry spots remain. 

   Step 6: Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle two thirds of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Carefully scoop the remaining batter on top, making sure all the cinnamon sugar is covered.

   Step 7: Bake for 35 minutes.

   Step 8: As soon as it comes out of the oven, take the 1 Tbsp of coconut oil and spread it on top then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.

   Step 9: While the cake is cooling, make the glaze: in a small bowl, combine the coconut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix until smooth and thin enough to drizzle on the cake. Once the cake has cooled, top with glaze. 

(Confession, my glaze did not turn out like her picture, it was quite runny...thus why it doesn't look like I have frosting on it below.)

Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust

It's been over a year since I've posted a new recipe! I'd say it's about time. But you know how you have seasons of your life when you just make your tried and true recipes over and over again, and other seasons when it's so much fun to try something new? Well, pregnancy for me has definitely brought cooking down a notch, that's for sure. We've had a lot of comfort food around here lately, and things I know are good and wouldn't make me nauseous. Anyway- that to say, I only have 3 weeks until my due date for #3. I have a few recipes to share with you that we love before baby girl makes her arrival, but I can't promise a consistent update of new recipes.  So- back to our recipe for today. Homemade Pizza! This Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust is the best I've ever made, and it gets the crispiest, as long as you roll it out thin. But even if it's thick, we still love it. So make it how you love it! We had a Friday night pizza night where
