This recipe was inspired by a random advertisement that popped up on my web browser one day. I couldn’t stop thinking about that image and decided I had to make my own version of this special breakfast treat. What I was going for is akin to the famous placek z kruszonka, or “cake with crumbs” from Polish family recipes. Feel free to adapt this one with your favorite ingredients, such as switching out blueberries with apples, or using pecans to crust the top as opposed to oatmeal. No matter what you add, the moist middle and crunchy top will make a delicious coffee cake your family and friends will enjoy on a chilly winter morning.
