Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

For the streusel

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the pumpkin bread

  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 teaspoon cinnamon Five teaspoons of cinnamon is NOT a typo.
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • pinch ground cloves
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

For the streusel

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: ½ cup all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Pour in ¼ 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 9x5 loaf pan, then line with a piece of parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 15 oz pumpkin puree, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Once combined, whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time.
  • Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon kosher salt over the pumpkin mixture and whisk to combine thoroughly.
  • Repeat with 5 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon 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 place on the middle rack.
  • Bake 65-80 min or until an inserted tester comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing.

Notes

Let the bread cool completely. Trim any overflow on the side as needed.
