How to Make Low Fat Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons low-fat milk. Mix until crumbly to form the streusel topping. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup low-fat milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared 9-inch round pan and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
