I just found this recipe. Not bad compared to a donut or something At least this only makes 1 and you cant be tempted anymore not to get into the rest.

Coffee Cake for One!

Recipe can be found here: CCK Single-Serving Recipes

For the batter:

  
• 3 tbsp spelt flour (or white. For gf: a commenter had success with 1 tbsp rice flour and 2 tbsp almond flour.)
  
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/16 tsp salt
  
• 1 stevia packet (or 1/32 tsp pure) or 1 tbsp sugar
  
• 1 tablespoon plus 2 tsp water
  
• 2 tsp oil or melted margarine or applesauce (I prefer the oil/margarine, but that’s simply because I’m not a fan of fat-free baked goods.)
  
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the streusel: (If you like a lot of streusel, feel free to double all ingredients below.)

  
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  
• 1 and 1/4 tsp sucanat or brown sugar
  
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp oil or melted margarine (once again, use applesauce if a fat-free version is desired)
  
• tiny, tiny pinch salt
  
• 2 pecan halves (or walnut halves)

(If using an oven, preheat to 330 F.) Combine batter dry ingredients and mix well. Add wet and mix until just mixed. In a tiny bowl, combine all streusel ingredients. Fill a greased muffin tin 1/2 way with the batter (or a ramekin or mug, if using the microwave). Sprinkle on two-thirds of the streusel, then spoon the remaining batter on top. Finally, sprinkle on the rest of the streusel. Cook 12-13 minutes in the oven, or around 1 minute in the microwave. (Microwave times may vary.)

The nutritional info above includes both the streusel and cake ingredients. (In comparison: the single-serving cakes from Pinterest have around 720 calories and 30 grams of fat per serving.) If using the oil version, add 85 calories and 10 grams fat, which will make the recipe 6 ww points.
