Ingredients
Pumpkin Bread
  • 3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 4 eggs, large
  • 1 15oz can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Crumb Topping
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease two 8x4 bread pans (I place parchment paper in the bottom and grease with baking spray).
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger together.
  3. Add in granulated sugar and brown sugar; mix until combined.
  4. Make a well in the center and add in the oil. Mix just until the oil is combined (the mix will be dry).
  5. Add in the eggs, 2 at a time, mixing after each addition (again, the mixture will be dry).
  6. Add in the pumpkin puree, water and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  7. Divide the batter between the two bread pans. Set aside.
  8. In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over both batters.
  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. (Tent a piece of foil over the top of the bread if the top is getting done faster than the center.)
  11. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing loaves from the pans, placing them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
  12. Slice, serve and enjoy!
