Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
Streusel Topping
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! If desired, fold in chopped nuts.
  5. In another small bowl, mix together the streusel topping ingredients—brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon—until crumbly.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel mixture generously on top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep your Pumpkin Streusel Bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-5 days. For longer storage, consider wrapping it in plastic wrap and freezing it for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy, simply thaw it at room temperature or warm it gently in the oven.
