    Much easier than making homemade cinnamon rolls, this Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake is a great way to feed guests or to enjoy on the weekend.

    Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

    This past weekend a few of my friends came in town to celebrate one of our friend's birthdays and new baby!

    We had so much fun, and I'm really sad it's already over.

    One of my favorite things about having friends in town is kindly requesting them to sample some new recipes. Usually they don't mind... especially if it's a recipe that turns out as delicious as this one - Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

    I based this cinnamon roll coffee cake off one from Averie Cooks.

    Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

    I used whole wheat pastry flour to make this a 100% whole wheat coffee cake. {You could also use white whole wheat flour which is less expensive and usually easier to find}

    All who tried the cinnamon roll coffee cake felt like there was no way to tell this was a healthier version. It was a hit!

    Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

    If you like cinnamon rolls but don't necessarily want to take the time to make them or are skeptical to use yeast, this is a perfect alternative.

    Everyone enjoyed this, and it was a perfect weekend breakfast for guests!

    Ingredients

    For coffee cake:

    • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon butter room temperature
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour {not regular whole wheat}
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    For topping:

    • 2 tablespoon butter room temperature
    • 1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar

    For the glaze:

    • 2 tablespoon cream cheese room temperature
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • milk {any kind} as needed

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
    • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine yogurt, 1 tablespoon butter, sugar, and sugar substitute for 2 minutes on medium low speed. Add in eggs one at a time with the mixer on Low. Add the vanilla extract, and mix on Low for another 30 seconds.
    • Add in the cinnamon, whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on medium low for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides, and mix again for another 30 seconds or until the dough is just combined.
    • Transfer to the prepared springform pan.
    • In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients {butter, cinnamon, brown sugar}, and dollop mixture onto the dough in the springform pan. Use a fork or knife to swirl the dough.
    • Put it in the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
    • Right before the cake comes out of the oven, stir together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and about 1 teaspoon milk. Add more milk as needed to get it to your desired glaze consistency.
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes then pop off the sides and cut into pieces. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and serve. Enjoy!
