Coffee Cake
This Crumbly Coffee Cake is a deliciously nourishing breakfast that combines cozy flavors with wholesome ingredients. It’s packed with texture and nutrients, making it both indulgent and nutritious.
Bone Broth in Recipes
The bone broth adds a rich depth of flavor and an extra protein boost while keeping the oatmeal creamy and satisfying.
You probably wouldn’t think of using chicken bone broth as your liquid in this cake, but it adds also another dimension of nutrition.

Crumble Cake Recipe
The heart of the dish is oatmeal which provides fiber and a comforting texture.
Natural sweetness comes from the bananas, apples, dates and/or raisins.
There’s no added sugar in this recipe. And, we know that sugar isn’t our friend!
Oatmeal Cake
The nuts definitely add a crunchy contrast to the soft oatmeal.
And, the shredded unsweetened coconut brings a hint of tropical flavor and extra crispiness.
Another important thing to remember. Buy the BEST oatmeal you can.
There’s a huge difference in the way it’s processed and what’s in it. I recommend Sprouted Oatmeal from One Degree. Here’s why! Educate yourself! I also use this oatmeal for my Dead Sea Granola, one of my most popular recipes.
One Degree oatmeal is often considered one of the best to buy because it is consistently certified organic, sprouted (which increases nutrient availability), glyphosate-free (contain no glyphosate, a controversial herbicide often associated with conventional oat farming), and transparent about its sourcing, allowing consumers to trace their oats back to the farm through a QR code on the packaging, ensuring high quality and ethical practices
Cooking with Bone Broth
Bone broth is nutrient dense and gut healing. Bone broth is packed with collagen, gelatin, and amino acids (like glycine and proline), which support gut health, digestion, and skin elasticity. It’s also rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Bone broth brings a rich umami taste, enhancing both sweet and savory recipes. Even in oatmeal, it subtly complements natural ingredients like cinnamon, nuts, and fruit without overpowering them.
So many ways to enjoy this cake!
- Serve it warm with a spoonful of extra ganache for a dessert-like twist.
- Pair it with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate cozy breakfast experience.
- Make it ahead of time and bake it as an oatmeal casserole for a meal-prep-friendly option.
