Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Bread:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- ¼ cup whole milk or almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Walnut Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped walnuts and set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fill the loaf pan: Pour the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, then sprinkle the walnut streusel evenly over the batter.
- Bake the bread: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the streusel topping begins to brown too quickly, cover the loaf loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
- Cool the bread: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
