Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree
  • 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

  1. Craft a delectable streusel by blending melted butter, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until crumbly. Refrigerate while preparing the bread.
  2. Calibrate oven to 325°F. Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with grease and parchment paper for effortless removal.
  3. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Reserve for later integration.
  4. 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.
  5. Incrementally fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, alternating with milk. Blend thoroughly until achieving a uniform texture.
  6. Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for even distribution.
  7. Extract chilled streusel and fragment into delicate crumbles. Distribute evenly across batter surface.
  8. 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.
  9. Simultaneously prepare maple glaze by whisking powdered sugar and maple syrup until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
  10. Immediately upon removal from oven, cascade maple glaze over the hot bread. Allow 20 minutes cooling within the pan before extracting via parchment paper.
  11. 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.
