Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake with Vanilla Icing

This pumpkin streusel coffee cake is easy to make and comes out of the oven smelling wonderful. It tastes even better with a brown sugar streusel and sweet vanilla icing. It pairs perfectly with black coffee. Or if you’re like me, coffee loaded with homemade pumpkin spice creamer. 😉

I knew I wanted to share one last pumpkin recipe with you before fall ended and I’m so glad it’s this recipe! If you’re curious about the other recipes I shared this year, check out:Instant Pot Pumpkin Cheesecake, Pumpkin Pie Dip, Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, and Glazed Pumpkin Spice Cookies.

If you’re sick of the pumpkin recipes, don’t worry – this is it for the year. I promise to dive face first into warm soups, decadent cookies, and chocolate cake soon enough.
