This is a recipe I came up with to make one of our favorite treats a lot healthier. It's soooo tasty, but healthy enough I don't mind saying "yes" when the kids ask for seconds! It's 100% whole grain and quite low in sugar. It's also easy to make this gluten-free by using gluten free oats.

- 1/2 c
- butter, room temp.
- 1/2 c
- honey
- 1/4 c

How to Make Healthy Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake
