Gingerbread Coffee Cake

@cokocooks

A combination of two cinnamon sugar recipes is just what you need to add to your holiday baking list this year! The gingerbread coffee cake is filled with warm spices which tone down the sweetness and make for the perfect festive breakfast, snack, or dessert. The classic gingerbread cookie in combination with the cinnamon sugar coffee cake meld wonderfully to create this gingerbread heaven. The texture of this bread is fluffy but moist. It is layered with the extra cinnamon sugar topping which is always everyones favorite part.

This gingerbread coffee cake is gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free if you choose. The pecans layered in the bread add the perfect crunch in combination with the gingerbread flavors. It is a comforting bread that will have you feeling festive and ready for the holiday season. It will be the best part of your morning along with that warm cup of coffee.

This gingerbread coffee cake will definitely be added to my holiday baking list this season. I would love to bring it as a snack for when my family goes to look at Christmas lights with a war cup of hot chocolate. Or maybe even Christmas breakfast for my family this year. So hurry and make this recipe because the holiday season comes and goes very quickly and this is just what you need to make it even more enjoyable. And if you are looking for another sweet breakfast recipe to make, try my vegan cinnamon rolls!
