What to do with all that coffee cake?

• Eat it : within 1 week at room temp, 2 weeks in the fridge, 3 months in the freezer

• Share it with allll your people or with yourself (duhh)

• Freeze & eat it later : bring to room temp or heat in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes

• Break it into crumbles & add it on top of ice cream

• Make them into muffins, change the cook time to 20-25 mins (keep a close eye so they don't get too over done)

Substitutions:

• bread flour: all purpose, self-rising, GF cup-for-cup

• cream cheese: sour cream, greek yogurt, apple sauce

• butter: vegan butter, melted coconut oil (should work, I haven't tested coconut oil myself)

• heavy cream: in the brown butter crumb, you can sub 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp milk
