Description

Moist And Delicious Pumpkin Streusel Bread Recipe

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and line loaf pan with parchment paper. Cut a thin piece to fit in the pan lengthwise and another to fit widthwise to make a cross shape.
Make the streusel topping by adding all of your ingredients to a food processor and pulsing until combined and looks like sand. If you do not have a food processor, you can use a fork and knife or your fingertips for this part. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Grab 2 bowls. In the first bowl add your flour, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.
In your other bowl add your butter and sugar and cream it with a hand mixer on high speed until it is fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Next, add your eggs and mix well until it is incorporated.
Now add your pumpkin, vanilla and mix well.
Next, add your dry ingredients from the other bowl and mix by hand just until it is all incorporated.
Now add your warm milk and mix well into your batter.
Pour 1/2 of the batter into your prepared pan.
Sprinkle half of the streusel on top of the batter.
Now pour the remaining batter over the streusel.
Top with the remaining streusel making sure to cover the top evenly.
Place on a sheet pan and place in the oven on the middle rack. Make sure to remove the top rack since the top of the bread will rise.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. All oven temps vary so it may take more or less time depending on your oven. Do not over bake the pumpkin bread. A few crumbs on a toothpick when testing is ok. The bread will keep cooking a little while resting.
When done, remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Once cool, remove the bread from the pan by gently lifting it out by the parchment paper handles.
Enjoy!
