Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Sift 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 tsp salt directly into the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Use a fork or fingertips to work 4 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter into the mixture until it forms pea-sized clumps. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Evenly sprinkle the streusel mixture over the surface.
  6. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
