*Delightful Pumpkin Spice Bread with a Crunchy Crumble*
This delectable fall treat is the perfect antidote to the chilly season, topped with a sweet and crumbly streusel that adds a satisfying texture. Soft, flavorful, and effortless to prepare! 🎃🍞🍂
**Components:**
*For the Loaf:*
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
*For the Streusel Topping:*
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chilled, cubed unsalted butter
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, making sure it’s thoroughly prepared for the batter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and milk until smooth and creamy.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Use a pastry blender or fork to cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the bread batter, taking care not to leave any gaps or bare spots.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean and the crust is golden brown.
8. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
