"A delicious recipe from Bob's Red Mill. Sometimes we make it with blueberries too. It's really moist and just sweet enough. Whether for a special breakfast or for dessert with a scoop of ice cream, this healthier version of coffee cake is sure to please everybody!"

I'm sorry to give this only 2 stars, as I had been wanting to try this recipe for some time. It turned out okay, edible, but no one wanted a second helping. When I look at all of the good ingredients, I can't help but wonder why it doesn't taste better.

The filling part was tasty, but the cake itself was not sweet enough... next time I'll add more sugar. However, a cup of butter does not make this a "healthier version"!!!
