Treat Mom to Mini Coffee Cakes on Mother’s Day
With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, you’re probably looking for ways to treat mom. I’m sure that mom would love to be greeted in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea and these mini coffee cakes! The bottoms are moist and tasty, and the tops are crunchy and sweet! I love coffee cake, and these mini coffee cakes are fun and easy to make.
Coffee cake reminds me of my grandma because she would make it a lot. These are definitely a comfort food! The cinnamon and ginger make these so fragrant. When they are baking, you’ll definitely be drooling!
This topping is made with melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and ginger. Stir it with a fork until it is crumbly. Set the topping off to the side while you mix up the batter.

Yum! I must try these. They would be perfect for Easter morning breakfast too.
They were so good!
They are perfect for any day if you ask me :) These would be a big hit with my family - I can't wait to make them.
I agree!
Growing up Sunday coffee cake was a speciality and everyone loved how it made the house smell so good. That crumb topping can't be beat. Will be making these muffins this weekend.
I agree! I could just eat that topping all day long.
These look amazing and especially at this time of the day your images make me hungry! I love to make these and my kids always love having grab and go snacks like these. I am definitely adding this on my list of things to make myself!
They make me hungry too. They're all gone now!
YUM! I love coffee cake, so I just know I'd devour these. I could definitely make these as a quick breakfast on-the-go, as well.
Yes, they make a great on-the-go breakfast!
I am definitely making these as I have a muffin man in my house. He loves any type I bake. I'm new to your blog so it is nice to meet you. Now following :)
I'm so glad to meet you too, Tina! I'm sure he will love these.
I dont think I've tried Coffee Cakes before, so this is something that I am excited to try. I got time to practice just before Mother's Day. I'm sure this will be a huge hit at home.
I think you'll love them if you like cinnamon and sugar!
Ooooh yummy! I hope my husband and boys make me something equally delicious (I'm gluten-free) for Mother's Day. Perhaps I should start dropping hints now...
Definitely drop some hints and find a gluten-free way they can make them!
We have had Mother's Day already over here, but it is my mums birthday next month so I may have to bake her some for then instead!
That sounds like a great plan!
My mum would certainly love to get these mini cakes served to her for breakfast or tea. Thanks for the step by step
You're welcome! Enjoy1
