Vegan Gluten free Coffee Cake – Simple Fall Sweet Potato Pecan Crumb Cake with Pumpkin pie spices. Warm Cozy slice of cake. Gluten-free Soy-free Recipe.

After a couple of batches of the delicious Pumpkin Pecan Crumb Coffee Cake, I tried out this a gluten-free version. This Sweet potato version uses almond and rice flours, sweet potato puree and a similar pecan crumb liberally spiced with pumpkin pie spices and cardamom.

It is soft, moist, spiced, lightly sweet and perfect fall snack, dessert or breakfast! And you cannot tell that is it gluten-free! I also like the sweet potato version for a lovelier flavor profile and a break from all the pumpkin. It has a deeper caramelized kind of flavor and a beautiful crumb texture. Serve these warm cake bars topped with whipped coconut cream and sprinkle of pumpkin spice to everyone gf or not!

If you make to make this crumb cake with regular flour, use this Pumpkin Crumb Cake recipe which uses regular flour. Replace the pumpkin puree with sweet potato.

More fall baking

Mix the dry in a bowl. Mix in the wet ingredients in another. Mix the crumb ingredients in a small bowl with your hands until crumb like and set aside.

Mix the wet into the dry to make thick batter.

Spread into a parchment lined pan. Sprinkle the crumb mixture all over and bake.

Smells heavenly! I use different spice combinations in the crumb. Just pumpkin pie spice, just cinnamon, cinnamon + cardamom, chai spice (that has cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper), pumpkin pie spice + cardamon. Use less or more to preference.

You can easily sub pumpkin puree for the sweet potato. I use sweet potato puree from a can which is a thinner puree compared to sweet potato mash that you might get after boiling or baking the sweet potato. Similarly pumpkin puree consistency also differs by brand. The consistency of the batter shouldn’t be too runny. Adjust with additional tbsp or more of rice flour or non dairy milk if needed.

The oil can be subbed by smooth and drippy almond butter or other nutbutter.
