Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour gluten-free, 1-to-1
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg whisked
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil melted
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup room temperature
  • ½ cup milk cashew or almond milk
  • 1 1½ tsp. vanilla extract

Streusel Topping:

  • ⅓ cup flour gluten-free, 1-to-1
  • 2 Tbsp. butter softened, almost melted
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl combine flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl combine the pumpkin puree, whisked egg, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition, until all ingredients are combined.
