Prior to starting The Fed Up Foodie blog, I kind of dreaded pumpkin season. I was never a huge pumpkin lover.

To me pumpkin pie was just ehhh and I never flipped a lid about pumpkin lattes.

Last year that started to change though when my cousin and I made this Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake.

It dawned on me that I don’t have to suffer through pumpkin desserts I don’t like.

I own this blog gosh darn it and I can make pumpkin desserts I actually like…

This year I was determined to come up with a pumpkin dessert that I would look forward to for Thanksgiving.

Since I love coffee cake and cream cheese pie, it was kind of a no brainer from that point on to create this Pumpkin Pie Coffee Cake.

I took a basic quick bread recipe, added pumpkin, a cheesecake layer and the crumb topping from my Apple Spice Crumb Muffins to create a dessert that I am head over heals for.

Want to know the funniest part?

My husband who LOVES pumpkin pie and doesn’t really like cheesecake literally said to me, “I will not got back to eating pumpkin pie after having this!”

Tips about Pumpkin Pie Coffee Cake:

• If you are anything like me and hate using nonstick baking and cookware because of the possible health risks, then you probably have searched high and low for stainless steel bakeware also. These stainless steel springform pans are on the lighter side but they do their job and I love not worrying about the possible health risks. (affiliate)
• Here is one of my favorite nonstick sprays to prevent sticking. (affiliate)
• Either a 8″ or 9″ springform pan works beautifully for this Pumpkin Pie Coffee Cake recipe.
• The secrets to a smooth cream cheese filling is 1) work with room temperature cream cheese and 2) whip the cream cheese before adding the sugar, vanilla and egg. You will notice in the video, I did not do that because basically I forgot. It is not a huge deal if you do forget to whip the cream cheese first. It will just need to be whipped longer.
• Here are my favorite pumpkin pie spices: nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. (affiliate)
• This is my favorite baking and high heat oil. (affiliate)
