Flours that work include spelt, white, oat, and some all purpose gluten free brands.To make vegan coffee cake, line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, or grease well. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Stir the cinnamon filling ingredients together, then set aside. Whisk cake layer ingredients in a large bowl until just evenly mixed. Pour about half the cake batter into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the filling on top, then spread the remaining cake batter over everything. Bake for 18 minutes, and stir the streusel ingredients together while waiting. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Evenly disperse the streusel on top of the half baked coffee cake. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out mostly clean. Let cool before slicing.View Nutrition Facts
