Coffee Cake for One

For the batter:

• 3 tbsp spelt flour (or white. I think Arrowhead Mills gf mix would work, but I haven’t tried it.)
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/16 tsp salt
• 1 stevia packet (or 1/32 tsp pure) or 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tablespoon plus 2 tsp water
• 2 tsp oil or melted margarine or applesauce (I prefer the oil/margarine, but that’s simply because I’m not a fan of fat-free baked goods.)
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the streusel: (If you like a lot of streusel, feel free to double all ingredients below.)

• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 1 and 1/4 tsp sucanat or brown sugar
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp oil or melted margarine (once again, use applesauce if a fat-free version is desired)
•  tiny, tiny pinch salt
• 2 pecan halves (or walnut halves)

(If using an oven, preheat to 330 F.)

Combine batter dry ingredients and mix well. Add wet and mix until just mixed. In a tiny bowl, combine all streusel ingredients. Fill a greased muffin tin 1/2 way with the batter (or a ramekin or mug, if using the microwave). Sprinkle on two-thirds of the streusel, then spoon the remaining batter on top. Finally, sprinkle on the rest of the streusel. Cook 12-13 minutes in the oven, or around 1 minute in the microwave. (Microwave times may vary.)
