Ingredients
- ⅓ cup of plant-bsaed milk
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup of packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup of neutral oil
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 teaspoons of Pumpkin Spice
- ½ teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the brown sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Whisk until all of the ingredients are fully combined. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix well, but do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and evenly spread it with a spatula.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted.
- Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes
- Use real pumpkin: Make sure it’s plain pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling (which is pre-spiced & sweetened). I recommend high-quality canned pumpkin, like Libby’s.
- Avoid over-mixing the batter: Otherwise, you’ll end up with a dense, rubbery pumpkin coffee cake. Mix it until only ‘just’ combined.
- Leave it to cool: It will be fragile directly from the oven. Also, if you want to add vegan icing, it’s best to do so when it’s cooled so it doesn’t just melt into it.
