Bisquick Coffee Cake - The lighter version

Some one mentioned Bisquick Coffee Cake the other day. It got me to thinking that I hadn't made it for a long time. Now that I'm home convalescing, I decided to make one. But, there was no longer a recipe on the Bisquick box! What to do, what to do? Google, of course. None of the listings were exactly what I remembered, but they were a starting place. This is what I came up with:

Bisquick Coffee Cake, the Lighter Version

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray cooking oil on 8 or 9 inch square pan.

  2. Make Streusel Topping

  3. Make batter

  4. Pick your option.

  5. Bake for 20-22 minutes, testing with a toothpick. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Cinnamon Streusel Topping:

2/3 cup Heart Healthy Bisquick

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 t. ground cinnamon

4 T. butter or margarine (soft, not melted)


Mix all in small bowl until crumbly.



Batter:

2 cups Heart Healthy Bisquick

2/3 cup fat-free milk

2 T. sugar
1 egg

Stir until blended


Then:

These are your options, (options are good):

A. Spread batter in pan, top with streusel topping.

B. Take 1/3 of streusel topping, mix into batter. Spread batter in pan, top with streusel topping.

C. Spread batter in pan, top with 1/3 streusel topping, use knife to swirl topping into batter. Top with remaining streusel topping.
