Hi Katie! We haven’t tried that, so we can’t say for sure. Most flavorless oils should work just fine – I know other readers have used avocado oil with success, and canola should be just fine too. Feel free to experiment and let us know how it goes!

Can I use coconut oil instead of veg oil?

So moist and absolutely delicious! I didn’t make the icing because I didn’t want it to be too sweet, but the topping was perfect. I’m making it again for Friendsgiving 🙂

This coffee cake was moist, flavorful with wonderful texture and a big hit with my family and coworkers. Everyone especially loved the streusel ribbon in the middle.

In reply to Naomi. Hi Naomi! While we haven't tried this recipe without the nuts, it should work just fine to simply omit them, or replace them with pumpkin seeds or something else similar that you're able to eat. Let us know what you think of this coffee cake once you have given it a try :)

We have a nut allergy in our family. Can I just leave them out ? How will the recipe come out ? Please advise !

I’ve now made this 4x in 2 months’ time, I love it so much. Everyone I share it with asks for the recipe. I have found it matters what brand of canned pumpkin you I use. The Libby’s brand is best, the Trader Joe’s brand (so affordable and plentiful in the fall) is more watery and requires about an hour or two of draining in a colander before using. I’ve tried subbing the spices for pumpkin pie spice + extra cinnamon and it was delicious. I always double the streusel and triple the cinnamon. Substituting plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream works, no difference really in taste. Baking time for me in a convection oven with metal pan still requires longer baking time than recipe states, I just check with toothpick frequently towards the end. But the cake is so moist, it really is forgiving if you bake a little too long. However, too short of a baking time and it is mushy and uncooked in the middle. Excellent recipe and will be making it every fall from now on.

So good! I left out the 1/2 white sugar to ease off the sugar and it was still delicious

I made this recipe, but I cut the sugar in half. I also substituted plain greek yogurt for the sour cream and avocado oil for the vegetable oil. It was plenty sweet enough and was still moist and delicious!
