This moist and flavorful pumpkin bread is spiced perfectly with cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, topped with a delightful pumpkin spice streusel, and finished with a sweet maple glaze. Ideal for cozy autumn mornings or festive gatherings, this recipe combines the richness of pumpkin puree with warm spices and a soft crumb.

Ingredients

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Pumpkin Bread

  • 1 15oz can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (110ml) milk
  • 1 3/4 cups (230g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup (85g) pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Streusel: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix thoroughly to form the streusel topping. Place the mixture in the refrigerator while preparing the pumpkin bread to keep it chilled and firm.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the two longest sides for easy removal later.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt. Set this dry mixture aside for later use.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or a whisk, blend together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil until fully incorporated. Next, add eggs one at a time and continue to mix, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Milk: Add half of the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and gently mix. Pour in the milk and mix again, then add the remaining dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a smooth, homogenous batter but avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Fill Pan and Add Streusel: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Retrieve the chilled streusel from the refrigerator and break it up into uniform crumbs with a fork or knife. Evenly cover the surface of the batter with the streusel topping.
  7. Bake the Pumpkin Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If not done, continue baking in 5-minute increments until fully baked.
  8. Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the bread bakes, whisk together powdered sugar and pure maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
  9. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is out of the oven and still hot, drizzle the maple glaze evenly over the top of the loaf, allowing it to absorb and slightly melt into the bread.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then carefully lift it out using the parchment paper. Slice and serve warm for best flavor, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several days.

Notes

  • The recommended oven temperature is 325°F to ensure the bread cooks evenly without drying out. Using parchment paper with overhanging edges makes removal easy and helps keep the loaf intact.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for the best texture and flavor. Homemade pumpkin puree is also a great option.
  • If you prefer a dairy alternative, substitute the milk with almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • The bread keeps well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days and can be reheated gently for a fresh-baked taste.
  • The maple glaze provides a sweet, sticky finish, but you can omit it for a less sweet option or substitute with cream cheese frosting if desired.
