{ COOKING VIDEO }
Say what?? I want to eat this all day. No seriously. I almost did yesterday.
Alright. I need to put something out there. Right on the table. This is for my readers that have read my blog for a while now and know my complete life story. First, thank you for sticking with me. You’re the best. You’ve been with me through the ups and downs. So a while back, you read about my break up. Well, months later, that lovely man and I rekindled our happiness and have been together for sometime now. Annnnnd we moved in together. First time moving in with a guy. Woooo weeee. I decided to keep some of my relationship stuff to myself since there are so many variables when it comes to creating a happy relationship. Sometimes it’s just better to keep that stuff between you and your partner, instead of the world wide web. BUT since I hadn’t updated anyone and there were some questions in my last blog post, there ya go. He’s just wonderful. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I couldn’t be happier. Taking a new journey together has been awesome.
Sorry this post is coming at you a little late. Let me explain myself. So yesterday, lovely Sunday, I woke up and made a smoothie. Fact. Then worked out. Then the true fun began. I went couch shopping. Ugh. Not only is furniture shopping an extremely awful task, but on a Sunday when all hell breaks loose in every parking lot, it’s an even worse task. Ok, I shouldn’t really complain. It wasn’t that terrible. It just gets pretty unfun when you’re hungry and have to pee. So we looked for couches, found one we liked, couldn’t decide if we should get it, then went to another furniture store. Which was even more unfun because it was way more expensive. But the parking lot was better, so that was a positive.
Yes, I understand unfun is not a word. If you were thinking that in your head, you’re unfun.
So after the boyfriend and I found out we couldn’t come to a conclusion, we headed to brunch. Around 3. I was starving. Hangry. After a couple mimosas, I felt decent for them not being as strong as needed on a sunny Sunday. But I knew I wanted to make this recipe. So we bolted home for him to take an afternoon snooze and for me to bake. And I baked. And failed. I put this recipe into a too small baking dish and it pretty much went every where. All over the oven. I mean…I still ate the edible parts. But the non edibles turned into smoke inside the oven. So I then cleaned the oven and couched it for a while in frustration. But I couldn’t go down that easy, so I made it again last night and just stared at it since I couldn’t eat it until I took pictures until today. Which leads me to right now. This very moment. I just took pictures of this beauty. Now go make it. It’s amazing.

Juli-
We hosted Easter for the first time, combining 3 different families and tried to stick to a mostly Paleo menu featuring 2 egg bakes and this AMAZING coffee cake! It was a total hit – even among picky non-paleo family members! Great recipe!
Thanks Juli!
I just made this coffee cake and it was perfect!!!! So good…it is going to be my go to recipe when company drops in. The only change I made was with the pan….I used a 8×8 pan and cut the baking time to 35/40 mins so it came out more like a coffee cake.
Thanks so much for the Fantastic Recipe!!!!!!
This was my first time baking paleo. It was delicious.
Juli, this recipe is killer! I have made it several times and it is by far the best paleo treat ! My husband and I changed our life style to paleo in January this year and together we have lost over 100 pounds! Your website is amazing , thank you for all you hard work and time you put into this site. I love trying new recipes, and getting new ideas. Tonight we are going to attempt to make your chicken curry w/ noodles.
that’s amazing!! congratulations!!
Made this yesterday for the first time for a group of carb addicts and everyone loved it! Fantastic recipe. Now I just need to keep myself away from the kitchen so that I don’t eat it myself.
This was SO good! The texture…the topping….gaaaahhhh. I made it about three weeks ago. My daughter and I are about to do some mommy daughter bonding and baking this again. Your recipes are awesome. I haven’t been unsatisfied yet…I think it’s been like 3 years since I started following you. The first time I made this my topping overcooked and I thought I burned it. Guess what? It was still so declious.
Making these now!!!
I just took this out of the oven and had to have a slice. It is WONDERFUL!
I love your site. There is nothing from here that my hubby won’t eat. Thanks!
just made this (minus the coconut sugar – because i forgot to buy it) and it was relish. sneaked in one slice before bed to taste it. can’t wait to treat myself this weekend with a cup of coffee!! Thank you!
So, I made it again today with the pecan streusel. It’s a wonderfully consistent recipe…
