Happily, pumpkin is a trend your body can get on board with, too. This fall vegetable is high in many of the essential nutrients your body needs, including fiber, notes the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Most Americans fall short on this crucial nutrient, averaging around 15 grams of fiber per day, about half the recommended amount, reports UCSF Health. Adding more vegetables to your diet, including pumpkin, can go a long way toward meeting your dietary fiber needs. Cake may not be the most nutritious delivery system for pumpkin, but it is one most people will gladly eat. The internet is abuzz with love for pumpkin coffee cake, with TikTok videos featuring the dessert garnering tens of thousands of views. While many of those recipes — even ones tagged vegan and gluten-free — are packed with added sugar in a crumb toppings and glaze, this version keeps added sugars to a minimum and adds in some protein to make this one satisfying slice.
