Ingredients

Scale

For Streusel:

  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (OR walnuts, OR skip)
  • 1/4 cup cold butter (diced)

For Pumpkin Bread:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 (15-oz) can pure pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (OR oil)

Instructions

  1. Make streusel: Stir together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped nuts in a medium bowl. Add butter and crumble it into dry ingredients with fingertips until no more dry flour is visible and small crumbs form. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. Make pumpkin bread:
    1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line TWO 9×5 inch OR 8×5 inch loaf pans. NOTE!! This recipe makes TWO LOAVES. Please use TWO LOAF PANS, if you bake this recipe in one pan, your bread will NOT cook – if you only have one pan, this recipe is fine to halve.
    2. Combine dry ingredients: Stir together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
    3. Combine wet ingredients: Whisk eggs, sugar, pumpkin and melted butter together in a measuring jug.
    4. Make batter: Pour wet into dry ingredients and fold just until combined, do not overmix! Stir until no more dry flour is visible, a few lumps are fine.
    5. Bake: Evenly divide batter between TWO prepared loaf pans and evenly sprinkle each with chilled streusel. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean.
    6. Cool: Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing the breads onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a twist, try adding a cream cheese filling to the bread.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
