Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for streusel)
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (for streusel)
  • ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven. Line your 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving about two inches overhanging on the long sides.
  2. Make the streusel first. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture forms clumps. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold together gently until just combined (about 15-20 strokes). Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter without pressing it down.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the streusel browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment handles to lift the bread out and transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing (at least 1 hour).

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the batter. If using a glass loaf pan, reduce oven temperature by 25°F. The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
