The Best Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping and Maple Glaze

Moist pumpkin bread with a crunchy streusel topping and maple glaze. It’s seriously the BEST pumpkin bread recipe for fall.

Pumpkin bread is the banana bread of fall. Just like you must make banana bread when you get brown bananas it’s one of those things that MUST be made once fall comes around. I don’t make the rules, I just bake the bread! Now if you are really wanting to knock everyone’s socks off with the best pumpkin bread around make sure you scroll down to the recipe card so that you can make this one ASAP.

Ingredients

• Butter – unsalted is best
• All Purpose Flour – grab your favorite brand
• Sugars – both brown sugar and granulated sugar
• Pumpkin Pie Spice and Cinnamon – the best fall flavor combos
• Pumpkin Puree – NOT pumpkin pie filling. Read carefully because these are often confused.
• Olive Oil – I used a vanilla bean infused oil, but you can also use regular olive oil
• Eggs
• Vanilla Extract – we love vanilla here.
• Baking Soda – for leavening the bread
• Milk – I used whole milk, but you could swap for dairy free alternative to keep this dairy free
• Salt – believe it or not it adds great flavor to your bread
• Powdered Sugar
• Maple Syrup

How to make the best pumpkin bread

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

• In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients and set aside.

Pumpkin Bread

• Preheat the oven to 350, grease the inside of a 9×5 loaf pan, and line with parchment paper. Make sure the paper comes up and over the two longest sides of the pan so it’s easy to lift out.
• Whisk together the sugars, pumpkin, and oil until fully combined. Then mix in the eggs, milk and vanilla.
• Add in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until just combined.
• Pour it into the prepared pan and spread it even.
• Completely cover the top of the batter in streusel and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean. If it needs more time, keep adding 5 minutes until it’s ready.

Maple Glaze

• While the bread bakes, mix together the powdered sugar and maple syrup.
• With the bread fresh from the oven, pour the glaze on top of the hot loaf.
• Let the pumpkin bread cool for about 20 minutes then remove from the pan and slice. Serve warm or store in an air tight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
