Recently on a Sunday I got up and wanted something warm and sweet. It was too late to get cinnamon rolls going, so I decided to throw together a coffee cake. I started by making a base and added a brown sugar oatmeal topping! It turned out great and even T told my mom with a tone of suprise “It was actually good” as though I feed him bad food on a regular basis! Gee thanks dear! (He later clarified that he was suprised because he never though to use oatmeal in a coffee cake).
Begin by mixing the cake base together. Melt the butter, beat in the sugar, eggs, & vanilla. Then, add the dry
ingredients followed by the milk. Make sure it is mixed well and pour in a pan (I used a large pie pan for my batch and it worked very well. Then, melt the butter for your oatmeal topping. Once melted add the brown sugar and then the oatmeal to make a crumble. (You can adjust the butter to sugar to oatmeal ratio as needed and to your liking.) Then, drop it on top of the cake base.

Bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes or until just started to get golden. If you so chose, you can drizzle a cream cheese type frosting on the top. I did, but T & I both agreed that it is sweet enough without it and next time I will omit that part! I hope you enjoy Brown Sugar Oatmeal Coffee Cake!

Looks delicious. Inspired me to make some cake for tomorrow. I love eating cake with coffee.
I hope you like it!
Yum!! Looks delicious 🙂
Thank you!
Looks so good! I used to make coffee cake all of the time but haven’t made one for awhile. I love to eat a good coffee cake with a steaming cup of coffee. Yum.
Thank you! I grew up with my mom making coffee cake on a regular basis. Usually something we had on the weekends! I’ve seemed to have stuck with that tradition as well. We either have cinnamon rolls, pancakes, coffee cake, or bacon & eggs on the weekend! Along with our steaming cups of coffee as well!
I am so hungry now…
Me too! I wish i had some now!
Well, that was a convincing post on facebook! I saw the recipe and was about to drink my afternoon coffee and felt it would be so much nicer with this cake! I made the batter while my son napped, and then he had so much fun helping me mix the topping together after he woke up. It was perfect without added frosting. Mine took a little longer to bake, but I think that might be because my oven is a million years old. Happy to see you’re doing so well!
Awesome! Im so glad you enjoyed it and it was great fun for you and your son!
