Just wanted to let you know that this yummy little breakfast treat is sponsored by my friends over at Crofter’s Organic!
This tender, moist Gluten Free Coffee Cake has a tasty blackberry swirl and is loaded with a crunchy, crispy crumble topping! It’s sure to be a hit!
PINÂ Gluten Free Vegan Coffee Cake
If you really want to get me out of bed in the mornings PRONTO, just promise me carbs.
And, if we’re being specific here, they should be tender, moist carbs in the form of gluten free COFFEE CAKE, which MUST have a VRY VRY heavy LAYER of buttery crumbles on top and a THICK layer of sticky-sweet fruit spread in the middle.
Serious about that crumb topping. The ratio of topping to cake better be some along the lines of 3:1.
We do not mess around. This is not a drill.
You know, I never understood why they called it coffee cake when I was growing up and didn’t drink coffee. It didn’t have coffee in it, and it kind of just tastes like a muffin but, you know, shaped like a cake.
Then, adult Taylor had a slice of gluten free coffee cake W-I-T-H a mug of steamy-cozy-morning coffee and HOLD THE PHONE. Coffee cake IS probably the most perfect little side of carby comfort to accompany a cup of joe.
So, yea, I WILL get out of bed for it. Whether it’s Saturday or even on a MONDAY. I’m there.
This vegan coffee cake recipe, MAN OH MAN. Both Mr. FFF and my roommate, Emma, declared it one the best things I’ve ever made, and they haven’t said that since the mulled red wine cake of 2018.

Then there’s the crispy, crunchy, coconut-oily crumbs that fall all over your lap as your yogurt coffee cake-loving-mouth munches, but you do not even care one bit because nothing can distract you from the current coffee cake situation that you currently find yourself in.
Besides, maybe you’ll find some crumbs stuck to your shirt later. SNACKS.
Can we press pause on the crumbs for a second though? Because we have some blackberry BUSINESS to banter about.
All cozied up between the tender layer of pillowy soft coffee cake and the heavy-handed sprinkling of crispy oats lies the REAL star of the gluten free vegan coffee cake show: Crofter’s Organic Blackberry Premium Spread!
I’ve been using Crofter’s fruit spread for a LONG time because they are all just so dang good. I always have apricot, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry on hand <– Put blackberry or raspberry with cashew butter on an English muffin. You’re welcome.
They really are a “fruit spread for all” because there are SO many flavors (even unexpected ones like pomegranate and black currant!) and they also offer different varieties. Today’s Blackberry spread if part of the “premium” line!
Their premium spread has less sugar, more flavorful fruits and is made with organic ingredients and Fair-Trade cane sugar! Tastes good. Good 4 U.
Totally my JAM (get it?)
You could also try their “just fruit” line which has no refined sugar! They use low color and low acidity white grapes to press into concentrated juice with no flavor, and then add that fruit based sweetness instead of sugar! They’re a touch tarter but still super delicious and have just as awesome flavors!
Can I use other flavors of fruit spread?
Absolutely! Crofter’s has so many flavors available. I think this coffee cake would also be awesome with apricot or wild blueberry fruit spread!
It’s going down like this:
- Sticky-sweet, fruity spread with punchy blackberries
- Spicy swirls of cinnamon
- Tender wholesome, crunchy oats
- Cup of steaming, hot, cozy coffee
Rise and shine sunshine, your morning just got a little brighter.

I will also jump out of bed for a warm piece of coffee cake. I’ve never tried a fruit spread in the center but its such a great idea.
Taylor Kiser says
Thank you!!
Jennifer says
Hi Taylor, this coffee cake looks amazing! Before I start making it, will 1 jar of Crofters jam be enough, or will I need two? Thanks!
Taylor Kiser says
One is good!

Vegan and gluten free coffee cake packed with berries?! EVERYTHING I could have ever dreamed of and more. Seriously. It must have been insanely decadent in aroma when you removed the cake from the oven. Honestly, if you were accompanied by other people at that time, you probably wouldn’t have been able to take pictures of the result because everyone would have eaten the whole cake. Just saying 😉 Carbs are absolutely the BEST way to wake me up too. Who needs coffee anyways?
Taylor Kiser says
RIGHT! Screw coffee just give me them carbs! Thanks Cassie!
