This Mixed Berry Coffee Cake Recipe has lots of berries so it’s somewhat healthy, right? This Mixed Berry Coffee Cake Recipe is perfect for breakfast or can be served as a snack cake!
I know I am trying to justify just about every unhealthy thing I eat. But this coffee cake recipe has berries so that makes it easy to do so with this recipe. Really I can! Think about it, berries have fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. See, it’s healthy! Therefore, this cake has 1 serving of fruit! I know you were looking at this counting the calories you will consume and how much you have to work out to burn off the cake but I just helped you out so you don’t have to feel so bad. I know…I love you too.
I normally don’t eat coffee cake. Not because I don’t like it, I just don’t for some reason. I know you guys are looking at my blog wondering how I am not huge or what I do with most of my food, right? Well, I will tell you. I recently had a physical and, yes, I gained some weight so I things like this cake I have to avoid eating completely. I have enough of a bite so I can decide if it is blog-worthy or not, but that is it. I am staying away from sugar and working out 5 days a week. But, when I make recipes like this delicious coffee cake, I honestly don’t care to try it because I get enough fulfillment just from baking gorgeous desserts like this coffee cake.
I know that may sound like a bunch of malarkey but it is the truth. When I make sweets I usually am going somewhere or making them for someone. I strategically have to plan when I make my sweets so I don’t get tempted. That is how I do that. The dinner meals are actually my dinner.
I always wonder how dessert bloggers stay fit and what they do with their baked goods! I started off mostly doing desserts but I had to change that FAST! Now what you see are my post and what I really eat. I just want to share it with you. I know you are happy I shared this Mixed Berry Coffee Cake Recipe with you and you know what….you’re welcome.
