What Makes This Recipe Great
Ready for your new favorite coffee cake recipe?! If you tried and loved my paleo coffee cake recipe from last year you will really love this Pumpkin Coffee Cake! It has just the right amount of pumpkin & spice flavor, sweetness and the texture is perfection. Ruth loved it too and that always makes me happy!
I think this fall I am going to make a little bit of a fall bucket list for us because Ruth is 3 now and the perfect age to get excited about things like a pumpkin patch or painting pumpkins and pinecones. Little activities and outings make life feel much more exciting for all of us and now that our baby Milo isn’t such a little baby anymore we have a bit more flexibility in our schedules. Like time to make this Pumpkin Coffee Cake!
