I {love} breakfast foods, although I don’t seem to make or eat them as much as I’d like. It’s usually fruit or yogurt {giggle}. A weekend or two ago, I was laying in bed on a Saturday morning looking through my Instagram feed (you can follow me here). The number of breakfast food pics were making me cRaZy. So do you know what I did? I got up and marched my butt downstairs and decided to whip up an oldie, but a goodie: Bisquick Coffee Cake.
The entire time I was pulling this recipe together, I was flooded with memories of when my sister and I were roomies in Springfield, MO. We made this coffee cake on more Saturday mornings than I can even remember. I actually get a little sentimental when I think about the silly things the two of us did. Late nights where we decided to whip up chocolate chip cookie dough to stand in the kitchen eating it raw by the spoonfuls as we talked about life, jobs, boys, etc. Grabbing chinese on a Friday night to stay in and watch a movie. I {love} my sister and I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything! This post is for you, Kristine! Thanks for the memories. Gigantic Hugs!

i remember making this in home ec in Jr. High!!
See, this recipe is a blast from the past… hopefully you have fond memories of Jr. High. Hugs to you friend!!!
Girl, I STILL make this coffee cake at least once a month. One of my all time faves from childhood. Sometimes I double the streussel and work it into the batter. (OMG – delish!) But most of the time, I just add a little vanilla and cinnamon to the batter for an extra punch. Now I want some! =)
Jill — this just made me smile. Maybe we need to have a coffee cake date once a month and this can be the star of the show {hee-hee}. I’ll have to give that vanilla and cinnamon a try. Hope you had a great week. Hugs.
This looks good. I normally just by a box one to make but I am going to try this!
Give it a try, girlie 🙂 You’ll love it — the whole family will! xo
Looks delicious!
Thanks so much, Erin! Hugs.
I make this cake a couple of times a year. Can’t beat it for ease and taste 🙂
Yay! It’s a great recipe — and you can’t beat the ease and taste. You hit the nail on the head, Raquel. Have a fabulous weekend.

Oh myyyyy…I have everything I need. I see dessert for tonight – to heck with waiting for breakfast! Looks delish! Thanks for sharing and for sharing your memories. 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by and if you did make this for dessert — I hope you loved it! Hugs.
I made this coffee cake in the early years of my marriage, but haven’t made it in a long while! I have two boxes of Bisquick in my pantry, so I think I’ll make this recipe this w/end and bring back some good memories for my husband and I. ♥
Awww, Amanda! This just made me smile. I hope you do make it soon — and make some more great memories. Hugs to you friend.
Yummy! So sweet that you have such precious memories of the time spent as a roomie with your sister. And in my neck of the woods, too. I am not far from Springfield. Great little city. (Little compared to a big city, huge compared to my tiny town). I think the absolute perfect light breakfast is coffeecake and a couple pots of coffee.
Hi Sandra! We spoke earlier today via e-mail. Springfield has such a special place in my heart. I think you might be right — coffeecake and coffee is a perfect pair for breakfast. Have a fabulous weekend. HUGS!
This looks yummy thank you for sharing 🙂

Thanks so much, Claire! Have a great weekend. Hugs.
This looks really good and really easy! My kind of snack, lol.
i love any kind of coffee cake! looks yummy!
Thanks, Kellie! You’re too sweet… Wish we could get better acquainted over a slice and a cup of joe 🙂
maybe they need to take a trip down memory lane on their boxes again
Thanks for posting this! My roommate used to make this for us often. I’m building a cookbook for my granddaughter, and this is a must include! It brings back good memories, and hoping to build some more. I wonder why they stopped printing it on the package?!
My son asked if I would make this coffee cake for his birthday because he loves it. Will do.
I was looking for a few ingredient breakfast cake recipe that would be quick and tasty; this one did it for me.
Next time I may add a little more sugar but as the recipe stands, it is a delicious cake: not heavy and perfect with that first cup of coffee.
I was able to tip-toe around the apartment while everyone was sleeping (at 5:30 AM) and I put this together without making a sound!!! My little girl woke up and squealed, “Daddy when did you make THIS???” (LOL!!)
I just put in Bisquick coffee cake and there you were. Thank you so much for being there as I have long since lost the recipe. I will now make up for lost time. Thanks again for being there and sharing, Jeanie
