Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for streusel topping)
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped nuts if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping in a small bowl. Add the cold butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
- Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a moist crumb, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a cohesive batter.
