Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping and Maple Pumpkin Glaze

Ingredients

• 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin, not pie filling)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs (large)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 tsp cinnamon (for streusel)
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (for glaze)
• 1 tbsp pumpkin puree (for glaze)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

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 flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the pumpkin bread batter.

8. 8

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

9. 9

   Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. 10

    While the bread cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree in a small bowl to create the glaze.

11. 11

    Drizzle the maple pumpkin glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter. Ensure the bread is completely cool before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting off.
