Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Top and Maple Drizzle

Ingredients

• 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (canned or fresh)
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable Oil
• 2 Eggs (large)
• 1.5 cup All-purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 4 tbsp Cold Butter (cubed, for streusel)
• 0.25 cup Brown Sugar (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup Flour (for streusel)
• 0.5 cup Powdered Sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup (for glaze)
• 1 tsp Milk (to thin glaze as needed)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

6. 6

   Prepare the streusel by combining the cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and flour in a small bowl. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until it forms coarse crumbs.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the top of the pumpkin batter in the loaf pan.

8. 8

   Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   While the bread is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk to create the maple glaze.

10. 10

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

11. 11

    Drizzle the maple glaze over the bread while it is still slightly warm or once fully cooled.
