Pumpkin Cinnamon Crumble Bread

Steps

Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325°F (160 °C) (165°C (325 °F)). Grease and line a 1.5 pound loaf pan with parchment paper.

Crumble

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the crumble ingredients: flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

3. 3

   Add the melted butter to the crumble dry ingredients and mix until it forms a crumbly mixture. Place the bowl in the fridge while preparing the batter to prevent the butter from melting too quickly.

Dry ingredients

4. 4

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the bread: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Wet ingredients

5. 5

   In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk until the mixture is smooth.

6. 6

   Add the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, and ginger) to the wet mixture.

7. 7

   Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

8. 8

   Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

    Evenly sprinkle the chilled crumble topping over the top of the batter.

    Bake for 80-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).

    If the crumble starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent the pan loosely with aluminum foil halfway through.

    Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and place it on a wire rack.

    Start 15-minute timer
