- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups (230 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel and Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (55 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (85 grams) pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (110 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Craft a delectable streusel by blending melted butter, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until crumbly. Refrigerate while preparing the bread.
- Calibrate oven to 325°F. Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with grease and parchment paper for effortless removal.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Reserve for later integration.
- Utilize an electric mixer to harmonize granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract until achieving a silky consistency.
- Incrementally fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, alternating with milk. Blend thoroughly until achieving a uniform texture.
- Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for even distribution.
- Extract chilled streusel and fragment into delicate crumbles. Distribute evenly across batter surface.
- Roast in preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Validate doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should emerge clean. Extend baking in 5-minute intervals if necessary.
- Simultaneously prepare maple glaze by whisking powdered sugar and maple syrup until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Immediately upon removal from oven, cascade maple glaze over the hot bread. Allow 20 minutes cooling within the pan before extracting via parchment paper.
- Slice and savor the bread warm, or preserve in an airtight container for future enjoyment.
Notes
- Adjust oven temperature based on your specific oven’s performance, as some ovens run hotter or cooler than the standard setting.
- Ensure pumpkin puree is at room temperature to help ingredients blend more smoothly and create a more consistent batter texture.
- Swap vegetable oil with coconut oil or applesauce for a healthier alternative that maintains moisture in the bread.
- For gluten-free option, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to make the recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
