Bisquick Coffee Cake

Avoid Limp Bisquick, don't over beat.Everyone needs a classic coffee cake recipe. I’ve taken the liberty of doubling the streusel topping, you’ll thank me for it. Simple to make and leaves your house smelling really good on Sunday morning.

Bisquick Coffee Cake: Betty Crocker

Heat oven to 375°F.

Ingredients:

  • Cinnamon Streusel (below)
  • 2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
  • 2/3 cup milk or water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 9-inch round pan. Make Cinnamon Streusel; reserve.
  2. Stir remaining ingredients until blended.
  3. Mix in a 1/4 of the Streusel topping and spread in pan. Cover with Cinnamon Streusel.
  4. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown, testing with a toothpick.


Cinnamon Streusel Topping

  • 2/3 cup Original Bisquick® mix
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter (firm)

Mix all ingredients in small bowl until crumbly. Cutting them with a knife and fork helps separate the butter.

    Thanks so much for posting this. I remember it from more relaxed weekend mornings of my childhood. It used to be on every box of Bisquick—but I’ve been searching two years on boxes without success. It is simple and delicious with hot coffee and fresh sliced fruit of any kind.

    Thank you for this recipe. My mom lives in a little addition we put on for her, and she is having a guest over today. she is 78 and was looking at the new box. The recipe is new on the box, and she was wanting the cinnamon topping instead of the coconut. I was so happy when I found it online. We love Bisquick, and eat the pancakes two to three times a week. My kids ask for them all the time.

    Thanks again. Keep up the good work!!

  5. Sandy says:

  21. Kris says:

    Thank you for posting this recipe. I have a craving for it and we’ll be having for New Year’s Day breakfast. My dad used to make it when I was growing up. Yummy!

  22. Rita says:

    Here it is New Year’s Day and we didn’t have anything sweet to eat, but we had Bisquick but no recipe for coffeecake. Thanks to the internet, we now have it!!

  23. IronBear says:

    Absolutely great, and just as I remembered it as a kid. Thanks for posting the recipe!

  24. Margaret says:

    Thanks for posting this recipe. My grown daughter was looking for the recipe during the holidays and I could not find it in my clippings. She tried to make it from scratch and nothing compares.

  25. Linda says:

    As so many others, I am most grateful that you posted this on-line. I can’t believe that Betty Crocker would eliminate this wonderful recipe from the Bisquick boxes. Thank you so very much; I will definitely treasure the print-out.

  26. Nora Murry says:

    I remember when I was younger I made this for my parents all the time…Great comfort food. Thanx for the trip back in time.

  27. Pam says:

    My daughter came home in need of a recipe that she could make for her nutrition class that contained cinnamon. I remembered this was easy and good. Like others, I grabbed the box off the shelf and realized it no longer was printed on it. Thanks for posting this.

  28. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? I remember when I was stationed in West Berlin, West Germany (1973-1977) my folks would send me a care package with the Aunt Jemima coffee crumb cake mix (remember it included a plastic bag and the tin to bake it in?). I don’t think they make the Aunt Jemima mix anymore… but the Bisquick receipe is essentially the same This is a great receipe for when you need something quickly. Any thoughts of how to convert this for a microwave?

  29. Cathy says:

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for having this recipe. I love this recipe and my box doesn’t have this particular recipe on it anymore.

  30. dini says:

    Thank God for the internet! I finally found my Bisquick Coffee Cake receipe.
    Why on earth did they ever take it off the box????

  31. Brian Kohler says:

    Thanks for the recipe. I wasn’t worried about this recipe not being on the box as much as Bisquick not having it on their web site. Thanks again!!

  32. Chip says:

    My daughter was looking on the box for this recipe & I laughed & said it hadn’t been there for years. She was disappointed at the loss of a childhood favorite. All at once, we said Google! And here it is, same one. Thanks for posting it, and thanks to Google too.

  33. Judi says:

    Thanks so much for this wonderful and quick receipe – I added some diced up fresh apple to the batter – YUM

  34. Bob says:

    it is good Thank you

  35. Thad says:

    I’m glad you all love this recipe as much as I do. It’s been a breakfast favorite for many a Sunday.

    I used this area as a repository for recipes so I can access them anywhere. Send me your favorites and I’ll add them.

  36. April says:

    Thank you for this recipe. My Neighbor used to make this when I was a kid. I remember loving the topping. I have looked for the recipe but only found the coconut version on the box. Thanks again!

  37. Anne says:

    Thanks so much for publishing this recipe! It is my son’s 39th birthday and he wanted that coffee cake. I made it often when he was growing up. I knew it wasn’t on the box, but can’t understand why it isn’t on their website.

  38. buzolich says:

    I think Bisquick felt since it’s on buzolich.com, it doesn’t need to be on their website.

    btw: lucky son

  39. allen says:

    YES!! Why did they take it off the box!! Couldn’t have found without “google.”

    An old standby.

  40. Karen says:

    Just another person glad to see the recipe again. I love this cake

  41. Janell says:

    Thanks for printing this favorite recipe! I have the low-fat version of Bisquick in the house. Any idea how I can convert the recipe, or do I need to go buy an Original? Thanks.

  42. Christy says:

    I too recall my mom making this coffee cake (or rather the cinnamon-sugar crumbs I used to sneak off the top as a kid.) Thank you so much for posting this and doubling the topping recipe~ a kid after my own heart ;~)

  43. buzolich says:

    I’ve never used the low-fat version, didn’t know they had one. Actually never thought that Bisquick might have enough fat to warrant a low-fat version.

    Is the pancake recipe in the low-fat version different from the 2 cups Bisquick, egg and a cup of milk on the standard box?

  44. john says:

    It’s (the recipe) inside the box now…. of course i did not feel like ripping up the box, so I figured I would google the recipe. I have added very finely chopped pecans to the topping for those not allergic to nuts…....And I am not witing till Sunday morn.. we are expecting a good amount of snow tonight, will be good with a hot cup of tea and watch the snow falling!

  45. Darla Granberry says:

    New Year! New thanks! I have this recipe at home, but when visiting my daughter and Grandkids for New Year’s they requested it, and sure enough you had it. I also always double the topping. Thanks so much for sharing!

  46. Susan says:

    Finally! I didn’t know they had put it inside the box. One place I didn’t look..ha ha….I am thankful to have found the recipe again. I use to make this all the time. Thanks for sharing.

  47. Rebecca says:

    Bless you! With half the family just getting over two weeks of illness, our favorite coffee cake seemed like just the thing to brighten the morning. Imagine my distress to discover the recipe was no where to be found!
    Thanks!

  48. Teri says:

    Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I need to make 2 coffee cakes for my sons class. I remember this being a very easy recipe. When I went to the box to make them, the recipe wasn’t there, inside or outside!! You’re a life saver :-)

  49. Josiah Bragdon says:

    Bless you! The whole Bragdon family bows down to you and all your glorious coffee cake recipies. Can we come to the barn?

  50. Judy says:

    I was going thru some old recipes of my mother’s today and I got to thinking about some of the wonderful old recipes of my childhood. Bisquick Coffee Cake came to mind and I ran to the pantry to see if the recipe was still on the box…...NO! Thank goodness for the internet and your website. My mom usually made the coconut topping version which I don’t see here but I suppose one would just add a little coconut and a few nuts to the cinnamon recipe.
