Equipment

  • 9×5 loaf pan
  • medium bowl
  • large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

For the streusel

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the pumpkin bread

  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • pinch ground cloves
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

For the streusel

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: ½ cup all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Pour in ¼ cup melted butter and stir until just combined and crumbly. Set in the fridge to chill while you make the pumpkin bread.

For the pumpkin bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9×5 loaf pan, then line with a piece of parchment. It should be long enough that it sticks up along the long sides of the loaf pan so you can lift the pumpkin bread out later.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 15 oz pumpkin puree, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Once combined, whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time.
  • Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon kosher salt over the pumpkin mixture and whisk to combine thoroughly. Repeat with 5 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and pinch ground cloves. Finally, fold in 2 cups all-purpose flour until fully combined (but don't overmix to prevent overdeveloping the gluten).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the streusel over the top. Place pan on a baking sheet in case of overflow and place on the middle rack (remove the rack above if needed–this bread will rise a good amount!).
  • Bake 65-80 min or until an inserted tester comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay). If the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Trim any overflow on the side as needed, then remove from pan and let cool completely.
