Gluten-Free Walnut Cinnamon Coffee Cake
Prep Time 15 Minutes Difficulty Easy Cook Time 60 Minutes
Extra special Gluten-Free Walnut Cinnamon Coffee Cake for breakfast, brunch or a late afternoon snack. What makes this coffee cake better and more flavourful is the healthy walnuts, cinnamon and the buttermilk.
Replacing buttermilk for butter makes this a lower fat coffee cake. And not only are the calories lower, but the buttermilk adds unexpectedly moist texture to this gluten-free coffee cake.
If you are thinking of serving this as a dessert, drizzle the cake with vanilla sauce, you will love it. By adding the vanilla sauce, a simple coffee cake becomes a delicious dessert. I have included the recipe for simple gluten-free vanilla sauce below.
Gluten-Free Walnut Cinnamon Coffee Cake Recipe Overview
For the recipe, it is straight forward. Mix the sweetener with walnuts, fresh lemon juice and cinnamon. Set aside. The mixture of fresh lemon juice and cinnamon adds extra flavour to the walnuts, making them taste so delicious.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Next, whisk the wet ingredients and mix with the dry until smooth. Swirl in the walnut mixture and transfer into your favourite bundt pan, this is my favourite bundt pan because it is non-stick and makes the cake look pretty. Bake, cool, slice and enjoy as is, or with our delicious, simple vanilla sauce.
Yummy, all the way. If you like this recipe, you will enjoy our healthy gluten-free breakfast muffin.

- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

This recipe sounds delicious! I am on a low calorie diet though. Can I substitute olive oil with anything lighter? Thanks!
I have used only olive oil or butter in this recipe and found that olive oil was the lightest option in this recipe. Maybe you can try fruit juice, but I don’t know how it will affect the texture. Sorry, can’t help 🙁
