Ingredients

For the coffee cake:

200 grams almond flour about 2 cups
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
2/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegan sour cream

For the crumble:

65 grams coconut sugar about 1/3 cup
66 grams almond flour about 2/3 cup
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9"x9" baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together.
Make a well in the center and add eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir with a sturdy spoon, until completely combined.
Add the vegan sour cream and fold into the batter using a rubber spatula. Set batter aside.
Make the crumble: In a small bowl, add the coconut sugar, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together.
Add the vegetable oil and stir until completely combined.
Assemble the coffee cake: In the prepared pan, add half the cake batter. Sprinkle with half the crumble mixture.
Repeat with the remaining cake batter and remaining crumble on top.
Bake cake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out batter-free when inserted into the middle of the cake.
Let cool slightly and serve warm.

Notes

Make sure ingredients are at room temperature.
Measure by weight where weight is given.
I would not recommend substituting the almond flour. The Nuts.com brand is my recommended brand of flour.
The eggs can be substituted with an egg substitute like JUST egg or use flax eggs or chia eggs. The texture will be a bit denser.
The maple syrup may be substituted with honey.
The vegan sour cream may be substituted with vegan buttermilk, regular buttermilk, vegan yogurt, or regular yogurt.
The coconut sugar may be substituted with granulated sugar.
The vegetable oil may be substituted with olive oil, canola oil, or melted coconut oil.
