Fancy breakfasts.

Though breakfast is my favorite meal year-round, there’s something about the holiday season that makes me want to whip up something extra special. Coffee cakes, doughnuts, waffles… those sorts of fancy breakfast dance around in my head!

Of course, all these fancy things are perfectly healthy, or I wouldn’t be making them! ‘Cause I don’t really enjoy a treat that my body is going to regret later on.

A paleo-ified favorite.

This cinnamon walnut coffee cake is a healthified version of an old family favorite. Before I cut all refined sugars out of my diet, I used to use a little organic cane sugar here and there. But once I realized how negatively sugar was affecting my immune system, honey became my best friend!

My holiday brunch favorite got paleo-ified, and let me tell you, it’s pretty dang yummy. As my hubby said after his first mouthful: 

“It’s delicious. But don’t take it personally…”

Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake.

Made with an easy mix of almond flour and arrowroot powder, the crumb on this coffee cake is perfect. The olive oil and yogurt make it nice and moist, and the sweetness of the honey complements the tartness of the cranberries perfectly. If you’re not into using olive oil, you can substitute coconut oil or even applesauce. And you can leave out the lemon zest or use orange zest, if you want.
