  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 large loaf (about 10 slices) 1x

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 salt
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in pumpkin and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Prepare the streusel topping by combining ½ cup flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup cold butter cut into cubes. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the pumpkin batter in a greased loaf pan.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree, avoid pumpkin pie filling for control over sweetness and spices.
  • Don’t overmix the batter for a tender loaf.
  • Add spices like ginger or cloves for variation.
  • Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
