Ingredients

For the streusel

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tbsp light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the pumpkin bread

  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. For the streusel – In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 6 tbsp light or dark brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Pour in 1/4 cup melted butter and stir until just combined and crumbly. Set in the fridge to chill while you make the pumpkin bread.
  2. For the pumpkin bread – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Sprinkle baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves over the mixture, whisk to combine. Fold in flour. Pour batter into pan, top with streusel, and bake for 65-80 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Five teaspoons of cinnamon is NOT a typo–it will lend your loaf a perfect level of spice!
