Ingredients
For the streusel
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
- 6 tbsp light or dark brown sugar (80g)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (57g)
For the pumpkin bread

- 3/4 cup vegetable oil (150g)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (213g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 2 large eggs (100g)
- 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 ground cloves
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (260g)
Instructions
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.
For the pumpkin bread
- Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9×5 loaf pan, then line with a piece of parchment. It should be long enough that it sticks up along the long sides of the loaf pan so you can lift the pumpkin bread out later.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 15 oz pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup vegetable oil1 cup light brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Once combined, whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time.
- Sprinkle 1.5 tsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp baking soda3/4 tsp kosher salt over the pumpkin mixture and whisk to combine thoroughly. Repeat with 5 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground ginger and pinch ground cloves. Finally, fold in 2 cups all-purpose flour until fully combined (but don’t overmix to prevent overdeveloping the gluten).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the streusel over the top. Place pan on a baking sheet in case of overflow and bake on the middle rack for 65-80 min or until an inserted tester comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay). If the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil.
- Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely.
Notes
- Five teaspoons of cinnamon is NOT a typo–it will lend your loaf a perfect level of spice!
