Sheet Pan Greek Yogurt Coffee Cake.
We love this sheet pan greek yogurt coffee cake! It’s tender and moist with the most delicious cinnamon crumb. Perfect for morning, afternoon coffee or dessert!
Best ever coffee cake, coming your way.
This greek yogurt coffee cake is so tender and filled with the most delicious cinnamony crumb. The texture from the crumb is perfect and the cake is light and fluffy. Everyone loves this cake!
Sheet cake coffee cake is the best coffee cake!
Know why?
It makes a ton and you can share!
It’s lovely for brunch. Afternoon coffee! Even post-dinner dessert.
I am no stranger to making coffee cake after coffee cake. It’s just that I usually make them in a bundt pan. I love those versions too!
But then I found this classic version in a sheet pan and I was so in.
I love having the option to make a 9×13 cake so I can freeze some, share some and more.
I don’t think it’s any secret that I love using greek yogurt in my cakes too. Because I love how moist it makes them. It adds a little bit of tangy flavor and it’s so simple. If you don’t have or love yogurt, you can always swap sour cream! It’s just as good and some would say… probably better.
I’m just over here, a huge yogurt freak.
Just look at that crumb!
First, mix up the crumb so it’s ready.
Next, make the batter. It’s super simple and starts with melted butter! You can make it in one bowl. One and done!
Make sure to spray a 9×13 baking dish with the nonstick baking spray. You know, the one that has the flour in it too! (more…)

I’m always looking for weeknight meal inspiration that includes meals that everyone will eat. There are a few big family favorites on this list as week as a couple of dishes that I really like to make for just myself.
What do you make when you don’t feel like cooking dinner?! Besides a phone call for takeout…

Cherry Jalapeno Chicken Salad. (It’s Easy Everyday Week!)
This cherry jalapeno chicken salad is packed with flavor! It’s the perfect blend of savory with a hint of tart sweetness and a little spice. Make it ahead of time to serve on sandwiches, with crackers and more!
Easy Everyday comes out TOMORROW!!

This makes me so happy every time it’s in my fridge!
Think of the most delicious chicken salad with lots of texture, crunch, a tiny bit of heat from the jalapeno peppers and a chewy sweetness from the dried tart cherries.
Dreamy! (more…)
