Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Cookbook. This sweet treat can be made on the weekend and can be enjoyed throughout the weekend or the week (if you're lucky). It's a different take on coffee cake and it's very flavorful. You can use granulated sugar substitute in place of the granulated sugar, 2 or 3 eggs in place of the egg substitute, plain yogurt and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a teaspoon of nutmeg alongside the cinnamon, the coffee cake will be just as good. You can also use other stone fruits such as plums, apricots or nectarines in place of the peach and it will still be delicious.
