Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and nuts (if using) to create the crumb topping.

Step 7

Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-nut mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and smooth it out with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the rest of the crumb topping over the batter to form the top layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and elegance.
