What to do with your left over morning brew?! Make a tasty gluten free coffee cake! I always make to much coffee, and I hate to see things go to waste. I developed this simple but delicious recipe on a seriously empty stomach with ingredients I already had in the house. The best part is this recipe only contains 4 grams of sugar per serving and is a great way to start the day for coffee lovers & health enthusiasts alike!
