Oatmeal coffee cake with a spiced crumble topping, you won’t be able to resist. A simple coffee cake made with oatmeal and topped with a spiced crumble.
Finally, it’s the weekend. After having time off over the holidays, I have been trying to get adjusted to full weeks of work again. To say the least, it has been a little tough. The weeks feel a little bit too long and it seems forever for Friday to come around. Give me a few weeks and I will be back into the groove of things.
Then there is crumble… yeah, I have crumble on my mind of late. Well maybe not of late, but for a while now. There is something about a good crumble that make a pie, coffee cake, or so many other desserts just that much better. Don’t you think?!
When I decided to make this coffee cake I knew that it would have to have a crumble to step it up a bit. The coffee cake is simple and even though it has a great flavor, it’s the crumble that is the star in this recipe, at least in my book.
Of late when making coffee cakes that have a crumble topping, I find myself going overboard with the topping. The first time I did this I was a little worried that it wasn’t going to work out. But after the first bite I was hooked, yeah you can’t go wrong with loads of crumble topping.
Even though I am trying to eat healthier after the holidays, I found myself sneaking a small piece of this coffee cake for breakfast, it was too yummy to resist. I had added cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and peanuts along with the other ingredients for this crumble. And I have to say the crumble was the thing that really kept me craving this coffee cake.

This recipe looks absolutely delish! I was wondering how it would taste to substitute sour cream for peanut butter? Would it be too crazy? Thanks!
Peanut butter might work, but I have never tried it. I love peanut butter, so it sounds good to me. If you do try peanut butter in the recipe please let me know how it turns out.
