[Almost Vegan] Fresh Berry Coffee Cake

You know, now that I think about it I really should go vegan.  I mean after the constant eating and eating and more eating that I did in Maui it would probably be a good idea, right?

Right?

Hello?

Oh, there you are!  You’re right…butter is a great reason to not be vegan.  See also bacon.  See also steak.  I think my vacation diet has gotten the best of me now…

So why the almost vegan?  Well, I didn’t have a vegan butter substitute, and I wasn’t about to go to the store and buy some.  Sometimes being stingy thrifty has it’s downfalls, but my friends I promise you this is not one of them.  Sure, you can use vegan butter.  You can go all the way with making this vegan.  But there’s never anything wrong with a little butter…besides, the chia seeds eat up the butter fat solids and they don’t get turned into calories when you eat them.

Totally.  Promise.  Just don’t look it up!

[ALMOST VEGAN] FRESH BERRY COFFEE CAKE

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 chia eggs (2 Tbsp chia seeds + 6 Tbsp warm water)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cups almond milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, stems removed and diced
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 4 Tbsp cold butter, cubed
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix chia egg and let it sit while combining the other wet ingredients.  Cream together the butter and sugars; add the vanilla and almond milk.  Fold in the chia egg until combined.  Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined.  Pour into a greased 9×13 pan.  Sprinkle berries evenly over the batter.  In a food processor process the remaining 2/3 cup sugar, 4 Tbsp butter, 2 Tbsp flour, and 1 tsp cinnamon until crumbly.  Sprinkle mixture over the berries.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!

I’m telling you, this [almost] vegan thing could be wearing on me.  Next thing you know I’ll be sporting dreadlocks and not shaving…

…or not 😉

    ha, I can’t even tell you how many vegan recipes get unveganized because I don’t want to go to the store. I had these vegan peanut butter cups (to be posted soon!) and I ended up making them the most unhealthy things in the world, lol. But they tasted good!

    Great recipe!!
