Streusel Coffee Cake

You’ll crumble for this streusel coffee cake. With half the fat and one-third fewer calories, you’ll take even more comfort from this comfort food.

We used whole wheat flour for more whole grain goodness and substituted canola oil for vegetable oil to bake a coffee cake you’ll crave. And with 57% less fat, 83% less saturated fat, and 33% fewer calories than the original, you’ll enjoy every moist morsel.

Streusel:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour > 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2/3 cup chopped pecans > 1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
3 tablespoons butter > 1 tablespoon canola oil
