Ingredients:

Dry Goods

  • 1 Ā¾ cups gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Ā¼ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin spice (yes, we're getting festive!)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • Ā½ cup Good Culture Cottage Cheese (for that creamy boost)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (your autumn bestie)
  • Ā¼ cup olive oil (smooth and silky)
  • Ā¾ cup coconut sugar (sweetness with a tropical twist)

The Topping thatā€™ll Rock Your World

Directions:

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (because weā€™re about to make magic). Grease an 8x8 inch pan or line it with parchment paper for an easy cake lift.

  2. Mix the Dry Stuff: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and that glorious pumpkin spice. Itā€™s your fall spice blend that's going to wake up those taste buds!

  3. Pumpkin Power Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, Good Culture Cottage Cheese, pumpkin puree, olive oil, and coconut sugar. This combo is a velvety, pumpkin dream!

  4. Combine Forces: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir it all up until the batter is smooth and ready to roll! (But donā€™t overmixā€”we want this cake to stay light and fluffy.)

  5. Into the Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Smooth it out so every corner gets its pumpkin love.

  6. Granarly Time! Generously sprinkle Espresso Yo Self Granarly on top. Be bold! This crunchy coffee-infused granola will give the perfect contrast to your soft, moist cake. Think cozy coffeehouse vibes in every bite!

  7. Bake It Up: Pop your pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Your kitchen will smell like pumpkin-spice heaven. Stick a toothpick in the centerā€”if it comes out clean, you're golden!

  8. Cool & Devour: Let your cake cool (if you can wait that long). Slice it up, brew a fresh cup of coffee, and enjoy the ultimate fall treat. Every bite is a perfect mix of pumpkin spice, creamy richness, and that irresistible espresso crunch!


šŸŽ‰ Time to dig in and feel the fall vibes! Whether you're sharing it with friends or keeping it all to yourself, this Pumpkin Coffee Cake is a mouth-watering, crunchy, caffeinated masterpiece!
