Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Pumpkin Bread

  • 1 15oz can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (110ml) milk
  • 1 3/4 cups (230g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup (85g) pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Make the Pumpkin Spice Streusel: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until evenly combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the pumpkin bread batter.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper that extends over the two longer sides to allow easy removal of the bread after baking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat together the sugars (granulated and light brown), pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil until smooth and fully incorporated. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  5. Construct the Batter: Add half of the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture and mix briefly. Pour in the milk and continue mixing. Then add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  6. Fill the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and even out the surface with a spatula.
  7. Add the Streusel Topping: Remove the cold streusel from the refrigerator and use a knife or fork to break it into uniform crumbs. Completely cover the top of the batter evenly with the streusel crumbs.
  8. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If needed, continue baking in 5-minute increments until fully cooked.
  9. Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the bread bakes, whisk together powdered sugar and pure maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the maple glaze evenly over the hot loaf to soak in and add sweetness.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, lift it out using the parchment paper edges and transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to enjoy later.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to line the loaf pan with parchment paper overhanging the sides to easily lift the bread out without damaging the crust.
  • Baking time may vary depending on your oven; check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
  • The glaze is optional but adds an excellent sweet finish that complements the pumpkin spice flavor.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
