This cozy pumpkin bread with a thick, buttery crumb topping is the perfect fall treat. It’s simple to make with basic ingredients and delivers a moist, spiced loaf with a crunchy, addictive streusel layer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (for crumb topping)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (for crumb topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides.
  2. Make the crumb topping first. In a small bowl, whisk together ¾ cup flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture forms clumps. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ginger, and ⅛ teaspoon cloves.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold together gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter. Press down very lightly so it sticks, but do not press it into the batter.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing (at least 1 hour).

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and do not overmix the batter. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent the crumb topping from falling off. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
