Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula
  • loaf pans

Ingredients
  

For the streusel

  • ⅔ cup flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar can substitute granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, or skip
  • ¼ cup cold butter diced

For the pumpkin bread

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 15-oz can pure pumpkin purée
  • ½ cup melted butter or oil

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Get your ingredients ready.

Make the streusel

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Add the cold butter and crumble it in with your fingertips until it looks like damp sand with little clumps.

Prep your pans

  • Grease and line two 8×4-inch loaf pans. This recipe makes two loaves.

Combine the dry ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Mix the wet ingredients

  • In a measuring jug or another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, pumpkin purée, and melted butter or oil.

Make the batter

  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until no dry flour is visible.

Assemble and bake

  • Divide the batter evenly between your two pans. Sprinkle the chilled streusel on top. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool

  • Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For brown sugar, light or dark can be used. Use canned pumpkin purée not pie filling. Optionally substitute melted butter with coconut oil or vegetable oil.
