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.

- 3 cups baking mix (like Bisquick)
- 2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1⅓ cups whole buttermilk

- 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.
