Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake

Breakfast? Snack? Dessert? Yes.

It might be the American in me but the second I see either Coffee Cake or Pumpkin in a recipe I'm all ears!

With the sweet smell of this morning treat warming in your oven, you’ll be ready to cozy up around the fire on a crisp Spring day. 

Protein from nuts and almond flour,  healthy fat from coconut oil, and a small dose of natural sweetener make this coffee cake the perfect no-fuss, gluten-free breakfast.

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a 9-inch springform pan or other cake pan.

 In a liquid measuring cup, stir apple cider vinegar into unsweetened nut milk and let sit 2-5 minutes.
 In a large mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin, *maple syrup, and coconut oil. Stir in nut milk and vinegar mixture until well blended and set aside.
 In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and sea salt.
 Slowly add dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture, 1/3 of the mixture at a time, and stir by hand until all ingredients are incorporated, being careful not to overmix. Immediately pour batter into the cake pan and sprinkle with topping.
 Bake 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
