One of our friends over at Toot Sweet 4 Two has this to say about the recipe:

“This classic recipe is updated with a delicious streusel nut topping! Enjoy for breakfast with coffee or as an afternoon treat with tea.”

I actually love eating this for breakfast. I love spreading butter or cream cheese on this. Since it’s sweet, I want to counter its sweetness with the saltiness of butter or cheese. I also love pairing this one with coffee or tea. Coffee mostly because I love it first thing in the morning.
