Servings 10 people
Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar (light or dark is fine)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- ¾ cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 and ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Streusel Topping
- 2 tablespoons cold butter (cut into small pieces)
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup quick cook oats
Instructions
To make the pumpkin bread:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan. (I use a 9x5).
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, both sugars, vanilla, pumpkin, and oil.
- In the same bowl, sprinkle in the flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix together with a spatula or hand mixer just until combined.
- Add the batter to the greased loaf pan. (If you are not making the streusel topping, you can skip to the baking step now.)
To make the Streusel Topping:
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium size bowl and use either a fork, or a pastry cutter, and cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. Sprinkle over the pumpkin batter.
- Bake at 350 for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick or cake-tester in to the center and it should come out clean.
Notes
After baking, let the cake cool for 30 minutes. Then run a knife around the inside edges of the pan before flipping onto a wire rack or plate to finish cooling. Once it's cool enough to handle, you can slice it and serve!
