Coffee cake with a seasonal twist! A warm and cozy slice of this Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake is just the vegan and top-8 allergy-free treat you need this Fall! A delicious breakfast, brunch, or dessert recipe with an extra java buzz.
I know what you’re thinking. This is just a trendy marketing scheme to entice you to click over and check out this recipe. Well, if you made it this far, I guess it worked, eh? But really, none of us can deny that pumpkin spice goodies are pretty delicious, no matter how overdone and over-promoted they are! I stock up on my fair share of pumpkin spice peanut butter, pumpkin spice cereals (this and this), and of course a little bit of this never hurt!
My favorite pumpkin things for Fall are all the baked goods though and that means my own gluten-free and vegan goodies. From waffles to pancakes, French toast, brownies, mug cakes, cakes with frosting, oatmeal, breads...okay, you get the picture! There's something about pumpkin in the morning that just makes everything about Fall a little bit more "okay" for someone who mourns summer.
Fall is one of those things I "try" to like and I do like the "idea" of it, but when I start to see the sunshine waning, days getting shorter, no longer being able to just run out of the door without a jacket, not to mention you're in the thick of school. However, I would gladly take the Fall season over those horrid winter months of January, February, and March. That, my friends, is the worst stretch of months, there is no pumpkin, no spice, on tears and gloom.
If making Fall the best as can be expected, only requires some pumpkin-y baking projects, well, I think I'll take it! I actually think those cozy smells of Fall baking are even better than the taste (maybe)! The mouthwatering aromas of cinnamon, maple, pumpkin, and cozy comfort are just too much to bear; the anticipation is always the best part of "good things". Don't get me wrong, sitting down with a friend, a big warm slice of gluten-free pumpkin spice coffee cake, with a mug of piping hot coffee and meaningful conversation is pretty damn welcoming too!
And when it's a little too chilly outside, at least we get that extra "free" warmth from turning on the oven and baking this delicious vegan cake! Breakfast, brunch, dessert, coffee cake fits in at any time of day. Through in some fresh pumpkin (veggie/fruit?), and that little extra java boost and "play-on-words" of pumpkin spice coffee actually IN pumpkin spice coffee cake! This may just be one of the trendiest coffee cake you'll ever bake and eat, but don't fret, this is a trend you'll want to hop on the bandwagon with!

Ahhh, the smell of that pumpkin and the maple crumb topping? Literally all I need right now, in this season! Okay, the sweaters and scarves don't hurt either, but this coffee cake? This pumpkin spice coffee cake? This gluten-free, allergy-free, and vegan pumpkin spice coffee cake? YES! Autumn is like one of those annoying family members. You love 'em, hate 'em, but just have to live with 'em! Some pumpkin spice coffee cake helps with that (meaning we must frequently bake it...weekly!)
So tell me:

You should move to Florida when you're done with school! We don't have winter! We don't really have fall either, but we like to pretend. I'll make this coffee cake, turn the AC down a few notches so I can put on a sweater and feel cozy. Seriously... think about it. Life is too short to suffer through those winters.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Already have plans for the south, but not Florida...especially now!
Harriet Emily

What a beautiful, tasty way to welcome in the new season! 😋
There are so many things I love about the Autumn season - the rich golds and reds of the trees; the ground strewn with conkers and crunchy leaves; the bright blue skies and crisp, frosty mornings. However the one thing I always struggle with is the shortening of the day. It's so hard to get up in the morning when it's dark and then, at 4/5pm when the sun sets, I start feeling sleepy. I definitely get affected by the lack of light and become a lot less productive. Good thing I don't live in Finland otherwise I wouldn't get anything done 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I know, the waning light is already killing me!
