Spiced Pumpkin Bread with Brown Sugar Streusel

Yield: 1 loaf | Prep: 15 mins | Bake: 55–65 mins at 350°F

Ingredients:

  • Streusel Topping:

    • 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar

    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

    • 2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, melted

  • Batter:

    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 tsp baking soda

    • 1/2 tsp baking powder

    • 1/2 tsp salt

    • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

    • 1 cup canned pure pumpkin purée

    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

    • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

    • 1/2 cup melted butter

    • 2 large eggs, room temperature

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease your loaf pan and line with a parchment paper sling.

  2. Make Streusel: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add in melted butter and mix with a fork until coarse crumbs form; set aside in the fridge.

  3. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

  5. Combine & Bake: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined (do not overmix). Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Heavy-handedly sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter.

  6. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
