Fortunately, pumpkin is a trend that your body can enjoy as well. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this autumn vegetable is rich in many of the vital elements your body needs, including fibre (USDA). The average daily intake of fibre in the United States is just approximately 15 grammes, or roughly half the recommended amount.

Pumpkin coffee cake combines the traditional dessert with the season’s favourite flavour. According to USDA data, using pumpkin puree in the recipe adds important nutrients like vitamins A and C, fibre, calcium, and iron to the mix while also keeping the cake moist without using bad fats. According to information from the USDA, Greek yoghurt gives this version a little tang as well as calcium and a significant amount of protein. According to the USDA, using a combination of whole-wheat and all-purpose flour gives your cake important fibre and B vitamins. Together, these components result in a cake that has significantly less sugar (more than 18 fewer grammes, but who’s counting) and more than double the fibre and 2 more grammes of protein than typical coffee cake. You won’t even realise it’s healthy for you since it tastes so nice.
