  • 3 Tablespoons (37g) Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ Cup (56g | 4 Tbsp) Unsalted Butter cold is fine

Pumpkin Bread

  • 2 Cups (240g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 ½ Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ Teaspoon Fine Salt
  • 1 ¼ Cup (283g) Pure Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 Cup + 2 Tablespoons (225g) White sugar
  • Cup (133g) Neutral Oil (avocado, canola or vegetable oil)
  • 1 Teaspoons Vanilla Paste or Extract
  • 2 Whole Large Eggs room temp

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven & Prep Loaf Pan - Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350ºF (176ºC). Butter a 9x5 inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan and line with a parchment sling inside, lengthwise with a 1 to 2 inch (2.5 to 5 cm) overhang.
  • Make Streusel Topping – In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. Add cubed cold butter and using your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until crumbs form. Set aside.
    ⅔ Cup (80g) All-Purpose Flour
    3 Tablespoons (37g) Light Brown Sugar
    2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
    1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
    ¼ Cup (56g | 4 Tbsp) Unsalted Butter
  • Combine Dry Ingredients - In a medium sized bowl combine flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
    2 Cups (240g) All-Purpose Flour
    2 ½ Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
    1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
    1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
    ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
    ½ Teaspoon Fine Salt
  • Combine Wet Ingredients - In a large bowl, add pumpkin puree, sugar, oil and vanilla and mix until well combined. About 2 minutes on medium speed. You can use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, hand held mixer or whisk by hand.
    1 ¼ Cup (283g) Pure Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
    1 Cup + 2 Tablespoons (225g) White sugar
    ⅔ Cup (133g) Neutral Oil (avocado, canola or vegetable oil)
    1 Teaspoons Vanilla Paste or Extract
    Next, add the eggs and whisk until well combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
    2 Whole Large Eggs
  • Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients - Sift dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and using a silicone spatula, mix until no dry pockets of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  • Transfer & Add Streusel - Transfer batter to your prepared loaf pan. Then evenly sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter, making sure to cover the whole surface.
  • Bake - Bake for at least 1 hour, then check for doneness. If the top is still jiggly, bake for an additional 5 to 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! (mine took 1 hour and 10 minutes) Tent with foil after 40 to 45 minutes to prevent the top from getting too browned.
  • Serve & Enjoy - Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack and enjoy!

Notes

Doneness - Every oven runs differently. Check for doneness after 1 hour. If the top is still jiggly, bake for an additional 5 to 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Mine took 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Tent with Foil - After 4o to 45 minutes, loosely tent the top of the pumpkin bread with foil to prevent the top from getting too browned.
Storage -  Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. It's even more moist the next day!
