Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup boiling water
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (for streusel topping)
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
- 0.25 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel topping)
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and mix in the vanilla extract.
Stir the soaked oats into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the optional chopped pecans or walnuts.
Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in the pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the coffee cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Oatmeal Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
