- Diet: General
Description
This pumpkin loaf recipe features a tender loaf with warm spices, topped with a delicate Marigold Crust and sweet Maple Pecan Streusel, perfect for family breakfasts or desserts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree, canned (not pie filling)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp turbinado sugar (for Marigold Crust)
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (for Maple Pecan Streusel)
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for Maple Pecan Streusel)
- 0.25 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (for Maple Pecan Streusel)
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup (for Maple Pecan Streusel)
Instructions
- Prep Oven And Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Whisk well.
- Gently Combine Batter: Pour dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
- Prepare Streusel: In a small bowl, combine chopped pecans, streusel flour, cold butter pieces, and maple syrup. Use fingertips to form a crumbly mixture.
- Assemble The Loaf: Pour batter into the greased loaf pan. Smooth top. Sprinkle turbinado sugar for the Marigold Crust, then distribute the Maple Pecan Streusel mixture over it.
- Bake Loaf: Bake for 50-60 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the streusel is golden brown.
- Cool Loaf: Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto the wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter; cool loaf completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. To save time, use a stand mixer or prep streusel while the oven preheats. Extra streusel can be frozen. Consider variations like adding chocolate chips, a cream cheese swirl, or omitting toppings for a simpler loaf.
