Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Perfect Addition to Your Fall Breakfast

This pumpkin coffee cake has been my go-to breakfast this fall. It has the perfect amount of spice, and the cake is super fluffy. My favorite part is how fast everything comes together.

The crumble isn’t a lot of ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to come together. This crumble recipe can be used for tons of different things. You could add this as the topping for apple crisp or literally any dessert.

You could add chocolate chips to this recipe or nuts. Both taste delicious. I love adding a glaze on top as well for extra sweetness.

Vegan butter: any vegan butter will work. If you aren’t vegan traditional butter should also work. Be sure it is MELTED.

Sugar: any granulated sugar will work. If you want this to be refined sugar free, use coconut sugar.

Nondairy milk: any nondairy milk will work. I used unsweetened original almond milk.

Pumpkin pie spice: if you don’t have this, you can just do a mix of ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.

Coconut oil: you can use any oil for the crumble or substitute for melted butter.

I haven’t tested any other flours besides the almond flour and all-purpose flour mix. These flours work well together to create a super fluffy texture. If you are gluten-free, a 1:1 mix of gluten-free all-purpose flour should work.
