I make this at least twice a month for my kids’ breakfast—it’s my middle daughter’s favorite! I try to always make two at a time and tuck one away in the freezer. One of my favorite Good Cheap Eats! Thank you, Jessica!
Jessica Fisher
Yay! So glad to hear it’s in the regular rotation!
Jacob
I don’t understand I mixed the topping but it didn’t come out as something you sprinkle it was more liquid like
Jessica Fisher
Hey Jake. It should be like wet sand. Is it possible your measurements weren’t exactly spot on?
Irish Stevens
I was lookingfor a quit and easy cofffee cake and this one is great made it and love it thanks
Jessica Fisher
Great! So glad to hear that you liked it. I might go make that for my people this morning. thanks for the nudge.
Becky
I forgot the milk! Did anyone else miss that one? Hopefully it turns out!
Jessica
Did you read the comments? There’s a huge story behind that. It will probably be more cookie than cake like.
Shonda
Mine turned out great. I used half cup applesauce and 1/4 cup sugar.
Danielle
Just made this on a whim after a sweet craving! Delicious!
Jessica
Yeah! Glad you liked it!
Emily
My 22-month-old and I made this last night for today’s breakfast. Not only is it delicious, but quick, too! Even with his “help,” it was in the oven in about ten minutes.
Carlene Courtney
Thank you SO much. I will try the new recipe. Guess what? It was good as a cookie!
Made 2 batches today! First made a batch to go into my kids lunchboxes for tomorrow, and for them to have for a special breakfast with yogurt. But I ended up letting them have some after dinner for dessert (a rare occasion here, they just don’t think about it, and I don’t remind them!) so I *needed* to make another batch for tomorrow’s breakfast. Delicious! I did use half whole white wheat flour and it turned out beautifully!
A friend of mine saw that I posted making this on facebook and she made a batch today too, she also said it was super good, easy to make, especially since its all pantry staples!
Jessica
So glad you liked it! Especially after all the faux pas at the beginning.
Jaime
This sounds so good! I’m planning to make it for my book club tomorrow.
Moe
YUM!! Made this today and plan on linking to your blog with this.
I made a few changes in using things up in my pantry: we are having a pantry challenge over at my blog http://AdoptiveMomHomeschoolingAnOnlyChild.blogspot.com/
I had some cranberries and golden raisins that needed used up. I also wanted to limit the oil so I used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 cup oil, also we are working on adding more fiber to our diet so I sprinkled in 3 tsp Ener-G Pure Rice Bran (can’t even tell it’s in there). YUM!! My guys like it and so did I.
Stop by my blog to see a picture.
Thanks for the great recipe idea on a cold morning!

Read through all the comments yesterday morning before making it….but apparently the milk hadn’t found its way into the posted recipe yet, because mine was just like a big cookie. Not really what I was going for. 🙁 Maybe if the dough had risen better, the cake wouldn’t have been so dense, but as-is, there was too much crumble for the amount of cake I ended up with. It was also a little sweet for my taste.
