  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes - 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf, approximately 10 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat together sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Store the pumpkin loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven before serving.
