Ingredient Notes

Here are some notes about all the ingredients used for this Pumpkin Bread. Quantities and full instructions are in the recipe card below!

Moist Pumpkin Bread

• All-Purpose Flour (Plain Flour) - I always recommend using a kitchen scale to measure your flour with for best results. Adding too much flour can make your pumpkin dread dry and crumbly, rather than soft and tender.
• Baking Powder + Baking Soda - Leaveners to help the pumpkin bread rise and brown.
• Pumpkin Spice & Cinnamon - I love the combination pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
• Salt - Balances out the sweetness.
• Neutral Oil - You can use canola oil, avocado, grapeseed, vegetable or light olive oil.
• Brown Sugar & White Sugar -  We are using a higher ratio of brown sugar as the molasses adds more flavor.
• Pure Pumpkin Puree - Canned pumpkin puree is best. Make sure you're not using pumpkin pie filling.
• Eggs - Adds structure and helps emulsify the batter.
• Vanilla Paste or Extract - Use good quality vanilla for the best flavor.

Streusel Topping (Crumb Topping)

• All-Purpose Flour (Plain Flour) 
• Brown Sugar & White Sugar - I like using a combination of dark brown sugar and a bit of white sugar. 
• Cinnamon - For flavor.
• Unsalted Butter - Adds flavor and richness to the crumb topping.
