Recipe: Buttermilk Pecan Coffee Cake

Buttermilk adds more than just flavor; it has numerous health benefits. (Southern Bite)

This Buttermilk Pecan Coffee Cake is my new favorite breakfast. I’m a huge fan of any streusel topping, so this one gets extra points in my book. And it’s really hard to find a coffee cake recipe with only eight ingredients.

Buttermilk Pecan Coffee Cake


Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 45 minutes

Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes

Serves 8 to 12

Ingredients

  • 3 cups baking mix (like Bisquick)
  • 2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1⅓ cups whole buttermilk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature

 Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the baking mix, brown sugar and cinnamon together, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar.
  • Scoop out 1 cup of the combined mix and set it aside in a small bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk and sour cream together.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the large bowl of dry mix and stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
  • Take the reserved dry mix and add the pecans and butter.
  • Use your fingers (or two forks) to blend the butter into the mix and create a crumbly texture.
  • Sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
