Ingredients

Scale

Topping:

  • ½ cup finely chopped pecan or walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Bread:

  • 1–¾ cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1–¼ cups canned pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1¼ teaspoons maple extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon maple extract

Instructions

  1. Topping:

    Stir together all ingredients with a fork. Transfer to the refrigerator while you proceed with the bread.

  2. Bread:

    Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan.

    Dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

    Wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, maple extract, and milk until combined. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.

    Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the nut topping over the batter. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs on it. Tent the pan with foil loosely during the last 20 minutes of bake time to prevent the top from getting too dark. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool.

  3. Icing:

    Whisk all ingredients until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar to thicken or more milk to thin. Remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack set over a piece of parchment paper. Press any loose nuts back on top. Drizzle icing over the bread and allow it to set before slicing and serving.
