How this recipe came to be:
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and I was sitting out on the deck flipping through a new copy of Cooking Light magazine and having a cup of tea when I ran across their recipe for Blueberry Coffeecake with Almond Streusel.
Within moments, I was up and, in the kitchen, whipping up my adapted version.
I didn't have any fresh blueberries on hand in my kitchen, but I did have some frozen assorted mixed berries in my freezer, so I continued on as happy as a little clam.
I also decided to use coconut palm sugar in place of the granulated sugar, and then to offset that healthy substitution I decided to drizzle melted butter over the top right before baking. Is it so wrong? LOL
Why this recipe works:
Yum! You're going to love this recipe because it's not overly sweet and the almonds give such a nice crunch to the topping.
Feel free to substitute your favorite berries in this recipe and by all means, go fresh when you can. For me, this was an unplanned breakfast, so I went with what I had available at the time.
Save this for later.

I made this coffee cake over the weekend. Unfortunately, I don't think I drained the berries enough because the consistency was a little mushy. I will definitely be trying again though because it was delicious!
