pumpkin streusel bread

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

this delicious pumpkin bread is melt-in-your-mouth tender with a buttery soft brown sugar streusel. it’s perfect any time of day and a wonderful way to ring in pumpkin season!

I’ve had the idea to do a pumpkin bread with a buttery streusel since last fall when I made these bakery-style pumpkin streusel muffins and I’m happy to say I finally got around to it!

Up until now I really hadn’t found a pumpkin bread recipe that I absolutely LOVED. There were ones that I liked and found good, but not one that I felt like was mind-blowing every single time I ate it.

Until now!

I was googling pumpkin bread recipes over the summer and stumbled upon this one from Once Upon a Chef and I decided to give it a go.

All I can say is OMG. It was everything I had been looking for in a pumpkin bread.

A simple list of ingredients. Comes out perfectly every time. SUPER tender. Not too overwhelming on the pumpkin flavor. After making it a couple times, I knew it had to be the base of this loaf.

From there I just needed to top with my go to streusel recipe and the rest is history. Delicious for any meal or snack (even dessert – especially when topped with ice cream!).

Description

this delicious pumpkin bread is melt-in-your-mouth tender with a buttery soft brown sugar streusel. it’s perfect any time of day and a wonderful way to ring in pumpkin season!


Scale

Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • Recipe from Once Upon a Chef
  • The only changes I made were to nix the nutmeg and cloves and instead sub in 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • Optional add-in: 1 cup chocolate chips (more or less as desired)

For the Streusel:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oatmeal
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoon crushed walnuts
  • 8 tablespoons room temperature butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Generously grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans with butter and dust with flour.
  2. Combine streusel ingredients in a bowl until a chunky crumb forms.  Set aside.
  3. Combine bread ingredients according to recipe instructions
  4. After dividing batter into loaf pans, top both loaves with streusel pressing it down into the batter gently to ensure it adheres during baking.
  5. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Allow loaves to cool for 10 – 15 minutes in the pan then carefully turn out and allow to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Keywords: pumpkin, flour, baking soda, sugar, walnuts

hear me out. I know we've been taught to celebrate things like weight loss, toned muscles, beauty procedures that help us look younger...but here's why I always caution against putting so much focus on appearance:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ bodies change. weight fluctuates. skin sags and wrinkles. hair grays. these are all part of the natural process (& privilege) of aging.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ we live in a society that promotes this backward idea that our appearance should remain stable despite years passing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ rather than internalizing the false idea that we need always be reaching backward and working to re-obtain what once was, allow your body to showcase the beautiful signs that you were given yet another day to walk this earth. another chance to pursue your passion and purpose...both of which are so much more important than how you look.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ to anyone that needs this reminder today: you are not your body. your worth and well-being is not dependent on your appearance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #caitsplatenutrition #caitsplate #antidietculture #nondietapproach #antidietdietitian #intuitiveeatingjourney #youareworthy

what's a diet culture rule you've never quite understood? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ for me it was definitely the "don't eat after 6pm" rule 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ hunger and digestion are not run by the clock. there are so many factors that can go into why we feel hungry from one moment to the next, and that feeling of hunger is always valid and should be honored, regardless of the time of day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ similarly, there are no 'right' or 'wrong' times to eat a meal. breakfast, lunch and dinner are not bound to specific windows of time. each can be eaten whenever you & your body deem it appropriate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ hope this reaches anyone who might need these reminders today ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #caitsplatenutrition #caitsplate #antidietdietitian #mindsetmatters #allfoodsfit #edwarriors #rdchat #dietitiansofinstagram #healthateverysize #dietculturedropout #nondietdietitian #antidietculture #antidietrevolution #intuitiveeatingjourney

just to add a little perspective around the messag
just to add a little perspective around the messaging that’s out there telling us all how to “lose the COVID 15...”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ let's reframe the fear mongering language around weight gain during this pandemic as a sign of privilege. having enough, at a time where so many have lost so much, should be looked at as nothing but a positive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ our bodies are meant to shift and change with different seasons of life. using food as one way to cope with hard emotions is completely common and part of a peaceful relationship with food.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ we are in unprecedented times. seeking self-comfort and care in whatever way works for you is OKAY. having gained weight during this pandemic is OKAY and not something you need to be jumping to 'fix' or 'correct.' and most importantly, it's okay to reframe comfort eating to something you can be grateful for, a coping skill you have the privilege and opportunity to enjoy, rather than berating yourself for it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ sending everyone a great big virtual hug today 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #caitsplatenutrition #caitsplate #nondietapproach #antidietdietitian #antidietculture #intuitiveeatingjourney #intuitiveeating #nondietdietitian #youareenough #youareworthy
