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. 😉

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 (Just like our Easy Pumpkin Soup!), decadent cookies, and cake (try this instant pot chocolate cake) soon enough.
Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake
I whipped up this batch of coffee cake while waiting for my sister to arrive. She came over to watch Bad Moms with me while my kids napped. We ate coffee cake, caught up with each other’s lives, and enjoyed a good movie. It was a nice day. Next time she comes over, I’m planning to make pumpkin monkey bread. Yum.
Okay, enough about my life. Here is your recipe:
