Buttermilk Vanilla Coffee Cake w/Pumpkin Spice Icing

The cake itself is a very basic vanilla buttermilk coffee cake. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it can be the basis for many coffee cake creations. Perhaps I'll give it it's own post. At any rate, I wanted the pumpkin flavor to come from the icing instead of the cake. This would be a wonderful treat to have with that pumpkin spice latte you've been craving.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Oat Coffee Cake w/Apple Topping

If you've visited my other blog, Soak the Beans, then you may know that at one time my oldest son and I were on a gluten free diet. Although we're no longer gluten free I do sympathize with my gf friends. This coffee cake is gluten free, egg free, dairy free, and soy free, but not fat free, sugar free, or calorie free. ☺ It goes without saying that you must make sure that your oat flour is gluten free. One way to do this is to make your own oat flour by grinding up gluten free oats in a blender or a food processor until it's the consistency of flour.
