Ingredients

Scale

Bread Batter

  • 1 (15 oz / 425 g) can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (110 ml) milk
  • 1 3/4 cups (230 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup (55 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan well or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread.
  2. Prepare Streusel: In a small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until combined. Refrigerate the streusel mixture to chill and firm up, which helps create a crunchy topping during baking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, thoroughly mix granulated sugar, light brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and free of lumps for a moist texture.
  5. Incorporate Dry Into Wet: Add half of the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently. Pour in the milk and mix well. Add the remaining dry ingredients and combine just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light, tender bread. If batter is too thick, gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk to achieve proper consistency.
  6. Pour Batter Into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking and avoid undercooked spots.
  7. Add Streusel Topping: Break up the chilled streusel mixture and evenly sprinkle it over the batter surface to ensure every slice has a crunchy topping.
  8. Bake Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Check for doneness starting at 1 hour by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with few crumbs. The top should be golden brown. If browning too fast, cover loosely with aluminum foil about 40 minutes into baking. Rotate the pan halfway through for even heat.
  9. Prepare Maple Glaze: While baking, whisk powdered sugar and pure maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Adjust thickness by adding more syrup or powdered sugar as needed. For a thicker glaze, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of maple syrup after mixing.
  10. Glaze the Bread: Remove the bread from oven and immediately pour the glaze evenly over the hot loaf, letting it soak in for consistent sweetness.
  11. Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes to set. If difficult to slice, allow an additional 10 minutes of resting before serving.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Chilling the streusel topping before baking ensures it becomes crunchy.
  • If the top of the bread browns too quickly, cover with foil partway through baking.
  • Allow the bread to cool adequately before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Adjust the consistency of the glaze to your preference for thicker or thinner coverage.
