EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

*To toast pecans, heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

We used fat-free sour cream in this recipe, but you can use reduced-fat sour cream instead.

Toasting the pecans is a great way to add extra flavor without increasing fat or calories.

It definitely tasted healthy, on account of the whole wheat flour. It also tasted like cornbread. It was alright.

Yummy! I hade unexpected guests, and what do you know, I happen to be pulling this delicous coffee cake out of the oven! What perfect timing! There were three guests, of which two were young children, and they all devoured the whole thing, not a piece was left! The whole recipe was very good, texture and flavor were great. I love this streusel, and I used regular sour cream, not fat free, which I will try in the future. Yummy!

AMAZING! Best coffee cake I've ever made! Doubled the recipe and brought it to a group of teens. In about 5 minutes it was GONE! People were arguing about who got to lick the plate! No one believed it was "healthified" because it tastes like it's full of fat and calories. Got rave reviews and was begged to make it again!
