Delicious Paleo Gingerbread Coffee Cake

The most delicious Paleo Gingerbread Coffee Cake made with a dreamy gingerbread cake base and topped with a paleo crumb cake topping.

Looking for the most delicious breakfast cake recipe to make all season long? GREAT! You have come to the right place.

I made us a Gingerbread Crumb Cake that tastes so decadent and has just the right amount of sweetness. Yet it just so happens to be paleo, gluten-free and no refined sugars in the cake.

There really isn’t a crumb cake type of recipe that I don’t love eating and baking and photographing for that matter. Crumb cake was always my favorite growing up. And this seasonal twist on a classic is such a dream to make for the holidays. Plus it isn’t filled with as much sugar and butter and all the things that do taste pretty damn good. But when you are craving gingerbread crumb cake daily – this is the one for you. It is surprisingly light and the cake itself is super moist (sorry if you hate this word but it is true!).

The crumb topping is sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar and has an almond flour base just like the cake. I also did sprinkle some powdered sugar on top because I couldn’t help myself. It is crumb cake and so needed at times for that little extra sweetness and to give the cake the holiday feel.

How to make the dreamiest paleo Gingerbread Coffee Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish (I used the If You Care Baking Dish which is a game changer!)
2. In a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, coconut sugar and molasses and mix well until smooth
3. Add in the flours, baking powder and spices and mix until fully combined
4. Add batter to the baking dish then prep the crumb topping
5. In a small bowl, mix together crumb topping then sprinkle across the cake
6. Bake in oven for 25-27 minutes (I stick a toothpick in the center and if it comes out “clean” it is ready)
7. Allow the cake to cool for a few then slice and enjoy. I also added powdered sugar on top, which is optional
