The texture is light without being crumbly, and the coffee cake is studded with delicious dark chocolate chunks and a maple almond butter swirl.

I added butter and almond butter to keep this gluten-free coffee cake extra moist. This is why this gluten-free chocolate snack is packed with protein.

A healthy-ish gluten-free coffee cake!

I know coffee cakes are considered not too healthy. However, this almond swirl coffee cake with chocolate is healthy-ish.

I cut out refined sugar by using maple syrup to sweeten the coffee cake. Almond butter replaced some of the butter and added protein and fiber to the cake.

The certified gluten-free oats have a good amount of B vitamins, iron, magnesium and selenium. In addition, oats have protein and fiber.
