Description

A perfectly moist pumpkin spice bread topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel and pecans, full of warm autumn flavors.


Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (67 g) light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (70 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) pecans, chopped
  • 4 Tbsp (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 3/4 cups (245 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp (4 g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3 g) salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups (305 g) pure pumpkin
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) milk, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs (100 g), at room temperature
  • 6 Tbsp (84 g) melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang around the edges; spray lightly with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine sugars, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, flour, and pecans in a small bowl. Add melted butter and mix in with a fork until completely incorporated and streusel is crumbly. Chill in the freezer until ready to use.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine pumpkin, sugar, milk, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture and fold in just until combined.
  4. Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula; sprinkle with 3 tablespoons chilled streusel. Spoon remaining batter into pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Tap pan sharply to reduce air bubbles and sprinkle with remaining streusel.
  5. Bake for 60 to 62 minutes or until bread is golden, springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Bread is done baking when the internal temperature reaches 200°F. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before using the parchment overhang to carefully lift bread from pan; cool completely on wire rack.
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Notes

Best enjoyed the next day once the flavors settle in. Perfect with coffee or tea.
