Ingredients
- 2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup pepitas roasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch round baking pan (I used a spring form for prettier serving) with nonstick cooking spray.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, brown sugar, and butter. Pulse until coarse crumbs form.
- Remove 1 cup mixture and set it aside.
- Add the baking powder, salt, cinnamon, egg, pumpkin, and milk to the remaining flour mixture. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the reserved crumb mixture and the pepitas. Sprinkle this crumb topping over the batter.
- Bake the coffeecake for 40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
