This Protein Pumpkin Coffee Cake will be your new Fall favorite cake let me tell you! It is made with super clean ingredients, and is also gluten free, oil free, & paleo. It is so incredibly fluffy and packed with all the cinnamon streusel you could imagine. Instead of using oil or butter, I use Greek yogurt and it creates the PERFECT texture. It’s an easy way to cut the calories & fat. Plus, it gives you some extra protein at the same time! Be sure to try my Greek Yogurt Banana Coffee Cake recipe as well.
