Ingredients
Crumble Topping:
3 cups walnuts
2 Tablespoons coconut oil or butter
¼ cup coconut palm sugar or brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
2 cups cooked white beans
6 eggs
¾ teaspoon vanilla liquid stevia or plain stevia and add an extra ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup melted coconut oil (plus extra for greasing pan)
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
Steps
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 12 x 9 or 13 x 9 baking dish with coconut oil or butter.
To make the topping, place the walnuts, coconut oil or butter, sugar and cinnamon in the food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse until combined and the texture resembles a crumb topping. Remove from food processor and set aside.
In the same food processor (no need to clean it) place the beans, eggs, stevia, vanilla coconut oil and honey and puree until smooth.
Then add the coconut flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder to the white bean mixture and process until smooth. Pour into the greased pan.
Spread the topping over the top of the batter and use a fork to swirl into the batter, then pat down to set.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator where it will stay good for up to a week.

Valerie on 2020-06-15 (5 stars): Pamela, this recipe is wonderful!! I followed it precisely, only subbing pecans for walnuts and maple syrup for honey (based on what I had on hand), and it tastes just like an incredible pecan/cinnamon roll - minus a sugar crash ☺️ My husband can’t get enough of it either - pretty sure he’s had it for breakfast and dessert the past 3 days. Keeps wonderfully in the fridge, too, which makes it so easy to make in advance. This will be a repeat in our house for sure!
Russell Volz on 2020-05-13 (4 stars): LOL! WHITE BEAN COFFEE CAKE RECIPE? At first, I was sure you were talking about White Coffee Beans. But no, exactly as your title indicates, you're talking about White Beans.
So, just to be clear. We're not talking about Whole Bean White Coffee. We're talking about White Beans made into a "Coffee Cake".
The reason this article caught my eye, is that I have several recipes that call for coffee grounds, but never have I heard of any recipe calling for white coffee grounds.
If by chance you want to know more about "White Coffee", just search the internet for "Whole Bean White Coffee".

Ann on 2020-04-19 (5 stars): I think this is the best flourless cake that I have tried! Tasted great and was simple to make. I subbed about 1/2 cup dark brown sugar for the etevia. Thanks!!
Meri Schroeder on 2020-04-12 (5 stars): Made for our Easter breakfast (just my husband and I since this is during the Pandemic). So delicious! I don't have stevia on hand, so used the conversion chart I found online. Used 3/4 cups of sugar; probably could have then omitted the honey. It's a bit sweet, but oh so good. Another PS winner recipe!
