For gluten-free options, swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend. It works well and keeps the bread moist. If you want a vegan version, use flax eggs or applesauce instead of regular eggs. Both options keep the bread tasty. Want to add more flavor? Try mixing in chocolate chips. They melt and create a rich taste in every bite. You can also add shredded coconut. It gives the bread a nice texture and a hint of sweetness. Both options make the loaf even more special. Switch up the topping for a fun twist. A crumbly oat topping adds crunch and depth. Just mix oats with a bit of flour, butter, and brown sugar. Another great choice is spiced cream cheese frosting. This rich frosting pairs perfectly with the bread's warm flavors. You can easily customize your loaf to fit any occasion. For the full recipe, check out the detailed steps to create this delicious treat. To keep your pumpkin streusel bread fresh, store it at room temperature. Place the loaf in an airtight container. This helps maintain its moist texture. You can also wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It will stay tasty for about three days. For longer storage, freeze slices or the entire loaf. Wrap each slice in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. This keeps the bread fresh for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy it, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight. When reheating, avoid drying out your loaf. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil. Heat it for about 10-15 minutes. This keeps the bread moist and warm. You can also reheat slices in a microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Just be careful, as microwaving too long can make it tough. Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin. Start by roasting a small pumpkin. Cut it in half, remove the seeds, and bake it at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-45 minutes. Once it cools, scoop out the soft flesh and blend it until smooth. Fresh pumpkin adds a lovely flavor, but be sure to drain any excess moisture. This helps keep your bread from being too wet. Check the loaf with a toothpick. Insert it into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, your loaf is done. If it has batter on it, bake for a few more minutes. Keep an eye on the top. If it browns too fast, cover it with foil. This keeps the top from burning while the inside cooks. You can use several egg substitutes. A common choice is applesauce. Use ¼ cup of applesauce for each egg. You can also use mashed banana or a flaxseed mixture. To make a flaxseed egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens. This will help bind your bread just like eggs do. For more details and a full list of ingredients, check out the Full Recipe.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground ginger

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

½ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Streusel Topping:

½ cup all-purpose flour

⅓ cup brown sugar, packed

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Set this dry mixture aside.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

        Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just blended. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.

          Carefully pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

            For the streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine ½ cup of all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until a crumbly texture forms. If you're adding nuts, mix them in evenly.

              Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in the loaf pan, ensuring it covers the surface well.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, lightly tent it with aluminum foil to prevent over-baking.

                  Once baked, remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for approximately 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
