Best Fall Baking Recipes: 57+ Favorite Pumpkin, Apple, Pecan & More Delicious Recipes)
Ingredients
Pumpkin Bread
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (spoon and leveled)
- 4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (see recipe)
- ½ tablespoon orange peel (dried, optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 30 oz pumpkin puree (x2 15 ounce cans)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed, light or dark brown sugar)
- ½ cup butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel Topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lower your middle oven rack to the lower position. *Under the middle of the oven, but not the bottom position.Coat a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or a light amount of oil.
- Mix the streusel using brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and dried orange peel.
- Whisk the dry ingredients to evenly distribute throughout the flour.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the sugar, light or dark brown sugar, pumpkin puree, melted and cooled butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Mix the wet ingredients together until you have what looks like a thicker pumpkin puree.
- Add the wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Transfer the pumpkin bread batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top, tamping the pan down on the counter if needed.
- Top the batter with streusel then bake in your preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour. The bread is done when a knife inserted into the thickest portion of bread comes out clean.
- Remove the baked pumpkin streusel bread when done, and cool in the pan on a wire cooling rack for 15-20 minutes before serving. Transfer the loaf to the wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before storing.
Notes
- If needed, cover the top of your loaf with a loose sheet of aluminum foil to prevent the top from overcooking and getting too brown during baking. I have not needed to do this when positioning my oven rack in the lowered position.
- Allow the pumpkin streusel bread to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before storing.
- Libby's brand canned pumpkin usually has more of the excess moisture removed. If you are using homemade pumpkin puree, use some sheets of paper towels and spread out the puree in a large bowl. Place the paper towels on top of the puree to wick away some of the moisture before baking.
- If you need to warm your eggs quickly, simply place them into a cup or bowl of warm water.
- Light-colored aluminum baking pans work best for quick bread. Dark-colored pans can burn your bread crust and leave the inside of the bread under-cooked.
