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.
