Notes

Note: this recipe originally used Oregon Chai Tea Latte Concentrate and Oregon Chai Tea Latte Powdered Mix. It was updated to make it easier and more accessible, but if you prefer the original, replace 1/4 cup of the milk with the concentrate and use the powdered mix instead of chai spices. Both ways are equally as delicious!

Tips and Techniques

  • Be sure to use pureed pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Store leftover coffee cake, tightly wrapped with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Use within 1 week.
