Pumpkin Bread With Streusel Topping

I’m in full pumpkin mode over here! Pumpkins in the kitchen, pumpkins on the porch and even pumpkins growing in the yard! Yes, you read that right.

Funny story, about two months ago we noticed a random vegetable plant growing in the middle of our backyard. We’ve never grown veggies the entire 17 years we’ve lived here so we were stumped as to where it came from.

Somehow, someway, a seed took root in our yard and started to thrive. At first we thought it might be a zucchini plant so I figured “bonus zucchini!” so we left it be and started mowing around it.

After a few weeks we started to realize that it was not zucchini but a pumpkin plant! It’s a bit late in the season but we were excited to see if we could actually get a pumpkin from the plant.

I’ve never seen an actual pumpkin plant in person so I was shocked to see how large they get. And it keeps growing and spreading daily.

Surprisingly, we have one pumpkin doing quite well. These buggers grow fast! I swear every few days the pumpkin itself doubles in size.

Right now it’s a nice sized green pumpkin that is just starting to change color. I’m hoping that by the end of the month, we’ll have our first ever home-grown pumpkin!

Wouldn’t that be cool?! I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Now let’s get back to the tasty kind of pumpkins! This pumpkin bread with streusel topping is amazing. The bread is so light, fluffy and moist.

I love the little bit of sugar and spice that the streusel topping adds to the spice flavors in the actual bread. As you can imagine, this pumpkin bread did not last long in my house at all.

Pumpkin Bread With Streusel Topping

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Streusel topping:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/4 cup oats
• 3 tablespoons butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
2. With an electric mixer, beat together the sugar, oil and eggs. Add in the pumpkin and mix until smooth.
3. Add in the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Pour into loaf pan.
4. In a separate bowl, cut the butter into the brown sugar, flour and oats using a pastry cutter or fork. Sprinkle streusel topping on top of pumpkin bread batter covering completely. (You will have a good bit of topping left but don't use it all. It will just crumble off of your bread if you use too much.)
5. Bake 50 - 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before removing from pan.
