Bran and Oat Breakfast Espresso Cake: A Wholesome and Simple Recipe

If you want to eat something deliciously different for breakfast that is healthy, full of fiber, protein, and low in sugar, this breakfast coffee cake is a great alternative. This recipe is fortified with crushed bran flakes and oats with a crunchy nut and bran topping that makes it quite satisfying as well. Here is how to make this one-bowl bran and oat coffee cake because it is a wonderful change from a bowl of cereal for breakfast.

Something else that makes this moist coffee cake recipe dear to my heart is how easy this fiber-rich coffee cake is to make. The hardest part is getting out your rolling pin and crushing bran flakes for the cake and more for the topping. Everything else is just stirring with your wooden spoon before pouring into your well-greased pan.

Though you may not particularly associate bran with a tasty breakfast coffee cake, this is one that will surprise you in how very good it is for just using a small amount of sugar and oil. I hope you give this recipe a try because I do think you will be pleased.
