There’s nothing like a warm piece of coffee cake on a lazy weekend morning! Made with delicious blueberries and topped with a sweet and crunchy streusel topping this vegan version is a crowd pleaser!
Recently my mother-in-law came to visit. One morning while she was here I decided I wanted to make her coffee cake for breakfast. Something sweet, moist, with a crunchy crumb topping, and of course vegan.
I also didn’t want to go to the store, so I had to work with what I already had on hand.
This vegan blueberry streusel coffee cake definitely met all of those requirements.
It was a huge hit and best of all it was super easy to make.

How To Make Vegan Coffee Cake
Vegan coffee cake is very simple to make. You don’t need to have any baking experience and unlike scones, there isn’t any chilling time involved. First, mix together the ground flax seeds with warm water and set it aside for ten minutes. This will work as a binder to keep the cake from crumbling.
Add all of your dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Pour your wet ingredients over the dry ones and mix until just combined, overmixing will result in a though cake.
Next, mix together the streusel ingredients and sprinkle them on top of the cake and then bake.

Huge hit for family Christmas morning breakfast!

I so happy that everyone liked it!
Whats the measurement for vegetable oil? It is 1/4 cup or 1/4 tablespoon? It only says “1/4 Vegetable oil”. thanks!
Good catch! 1/4 Cup.
I didn’t have flax so I subbed 1/4 cup of applesauce instead. This was so yummy. Thank you for the recipe!
Could coconut oil or olive oil be substituted for vegetable oil?
I want something to make ahead for family visiting (all vegan). If I want to freeze this should it be after baked or before? How would I serve warm – reheat or bake, etc?
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely!
I’m known in my friend group for not only being the only vegan, but also for being the best cook and baker. I love to host, which hasn’t been all that possible during COVID, but a few weekends ago I made this cake for a (very) small gathering. It was a true crowd pleaser! The texture was phenomenal and the flavor sublime. Even the leftovers were a joy, especially toasted and slathered with butter with some morning coffee. I definitely will be saving this recipe for future events.
P.s. I doubled the recipe and made it in a Bundt pan. I recommend a dash of vanilla essence to the batter!

Could I use coconut oil n place of vegetable oil?
This looks very tasty. I’ve exhausted my baking this morning, but I’m wondering if I should try this in a bundt pan and sprinkle the streusel in the middle!!
