Go to the pantry and grab the ingredients needed.

Make a vegan almond buttermilk by mixing almond milk with vinegar and adding dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely mixed and set aside.

In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Gently add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix as it may make the batter gooey.

Layer half of the batter into a lined or greased baking pan and spread it evenly.

Add a cinnamon sugar swirl in the middle and top it with the remaining batter, smoothing it out.

Make a pecan crumble topping by mixing coconut sugar, cinnamon, pecans, maple syrup, and coconut oil until it reaches a crumbly texture.

Spread the pecan crumble evenly over the top of the coffee cake, ensuring it reaches all the edges.

Bake the coffee cake and let it cool before serving.
