Description
Pumpkin Streusel Bread: Ultra-moist pumpkin loaf crowned with a cinnamon-spiced streusel and optional maple glaze for a cozy fall treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the bread:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the streusel:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- For the maple glaze (optional):
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In a large bowl, combine oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, both sugars, milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- For the streusel, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool completely. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with maple syrup until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Notes
- Streusel vs Crumble: Streusel usually has butter cut into the sugar-flour mixture to form a crumbly topping that bakes into a cohesive layer, while crumble is typically a looser topping that sits on top.
- Streusel ingredients can be adjusted; add extra cinnamon or nutmeg for a warmer spice profile.
- To keep slices fresh, wrap cooled loaf tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based oil and dairy-free butter substitutes in the streusel and glaze.
