Lightened Up Coffee Cake

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce or nonfat plain or Greek yogurt – I prefer using unsweetened applesauce. 
• ½ cup zero point white sweetener- I use Lakanto Classic Monkfriut sweetener 
• ½ cup skim milk or unsweetened almond milk 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract  
• 1 large egg 
• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour or gluten-free flour 
• 2 tsp baking powder 
• pinch of salt 
  
  • Ingredients for the Cinnamon Swirl:
    
• 1/2 cup zero point brown sugar sweetener or regular brown sugar 
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon 
• 2 Tbsp light butter, melted
  
  • Ingredients for the Crumb Topping:
    
• ½ cup all-purpose flour 
• ½ cup zero point brown sugar sweetener or regular brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp light butter, slightly melted 
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Instructions
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×9 pan with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce or non fat yogurt, almond milk, white sweetener, egg, and vanilla. Note: I prefer using unsweetened applesauce vs non fat Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a bit thicker-so if it looks too thick-try adding more unsweetened almond milk before mixing it into the dry ingredients. 
• Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix together. DO NOT OVER MIX.
• Pour half of batter into prepared pan
• For the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon
• Pour cinnamon swirl into the batter in pan, and swirl with a knife. Pour the remaining batter on top and spread over the cinnamon swirl.
• For the Crumb Topping: In the same small bowl mix butter, flour, brown sugar sweetener, and cinnamon until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping on top of batter.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. If you want to keep it fresh for longer, you can store it in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
