Gluten Free Overnight Coffee Cake

Dec 4, 2019

Jump to Recipe

Gluten Free Overnight Coffee Cake is an easy make ahead breakfast that your whole family will love.

Gluten Free Overnight Coffee Cake

Gluten Free Overnight Coffee was one of the first gluten free recipes that I shared here on my site. I adapted it from one of my favorite recipes, which was for an whole wheat coffee cake, shortly after I went gluten free.

And in case you are wondering before I went gluten free I used to use whole wheat flour all the time. A lot of my older recipes from my first year or two of blogging contained whole wheat.

Over the last ten years of being gluten free I have changed the way I cook and bake. The gluten free flours, flour blends, and flour blend ratios that I use now are way different than I used ten years ago. 

When I first shared this recipe I was just beginning my gluten free journey. The recipe was good, but over the last ten years I have changed it up quite a bit. 

I recently made this for a weekend breakfast and realized that I had never shared the updated gluten free version here on my site. 

Coffee cake is a great recipe to serve for a special weekend or for a holiday breakfast, so I knew that I needed to share the updated version of my Gluten Free Overnight Coffee Cake.

What I love about this recipe is that I can make the batter up the night before, refrigerate it, and bake it in the morning. All the work is done the night before, but you still have a hot breakfast in the morning. 

You don’t have to make this the night before though. You can just make it and bake it. Either way it is a gluten free breakfast that I think your whole family will love. 

Can you use a gluten free flour blend in place of the gluten free flours?

Yes, you can but the results may vary. If you don’t have the individual flours you can try your favorite gluten free blend, but for the best and most consistent results I think the individual flours work the best.

    I love breakfast dishes that I can put together the night before. I’ll have to give this a try.

    I have yet to make a really good pancake, but my buckwheat ones come close. Thanks for linking up!

    I know what you mean about high standards. I occasionally bake gluten-free for a friend of mine, and my rule is, it has to taste great to me too!

    Here is a recipe for a cake that pleases us both; I hope you will try and enjoy, too: https://culinspiration.wordpress.com/2009/03/21/lemon-cornmeal-cake-w-gluten-free-variation/
