Excellent coffee cake. I have to admit that for us it was just a cinnamon coffee cake, no pears or walnuts! While I love both, the other members of my family aren't too keen on them, so out they came. I made this with nonfat plain yogurt and added an extra tsp of vanilla extract, and subbed in soy flour for 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour. I also used 1 c Splenda for baking plus 1/4 c brown sugar for the sweetener. Tender crumb, sweet taste-- a lovely breakfast. Thanks for posting!Reply
