Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- ½ cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in nuts if using.
- For the streusel, mix ½ cup flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Add cold butter cubes and mix until crumbly. Stir in rolled oats.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if browning too fast.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
- Cool completely before storing to maintain moisture.
- Wrap tightly or freeze to extend shelf life up to 3 months.
