Healthier Cinnamon Crumb Cake

Healthier Cinnamon Crumb Cake is one of my very favorite breakfasts! I love traditional crumb or coffee cake! Unfortunately, I have to watch my sugars in the morning because my blood sugar doesn’t do well with too much. This recipe does NOT make my blood sugar spike and it is seriously delicious! The texture is also kind of addictive! This recipe is a must try!

Update: It’s been a few years since I first posted this recipe and it’s still one of my favorites! I also have a few people that make it regularly. The sugar amounts can be reduced if you are wanting a less sweet cake but if you are used to traditional cinnamon crumb cake them these measurements will be sufficiently sweet. Also, the sugar can be substituted for any sweetener of choice in equal amounts.
