Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping

Hand pouring maple glaze over pumpkin bread

This pumpkin bread with streusel topping is so good! It is moist and subtly spiced, with a crumbly pecan streusel and a maple glaze.

Why should I make pumpkin bread with streusel topping?

The buttery, crumbly streusel just elevates this pumpkin bread into something so delicious! The pecans in the streusel toast a little in the oven for a delightful nutty crunch, and the streusel contrasts well with the bread.

The bread itself is so moist and has a delightful texture. Although it’s a moist bread, it still manages to be fluffy, and has some warm spices like cinnamon, clove and ginger.

The maple glaze is a quick two ingredient glaze that adds a beautiful maple flavor and sweetness to the bread, but it’s optional.

The recipe is an easy, no mixer required recipe that’ll come together in a snap.

Leftovers taste great! The flavor of the bread enhances even further over the next couple of days.

Ingredients you need for the pumpkin bread:

ingredients for pumpkin bread in bowls

Canned Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

White Sugar

Brown Sugar: for extra moistness and depth in flavor

Vegetable Oil: This gives so much moistness to the cake, and you can’t taste the oil since the pumpkin flavor is so prominent. Oil makes cakes so moist that they’ll remain moist for several days!

Eggs: room temperature

Water: loosens up the thick batter a little

Vanilla

Flour

Baking Soda and Baking Powder: I found a combination of both gives a nice spring to the pumpkin bread

Spices: You can substitute pumpkin pie spice for all the individual spices, but that’s usually very hard to find in the Middle East. Instead, I used ground cinnamon, ground cloves and ground ginger, all of which I had on hand. The flavor turned out amazing!

How to make a pecan streusel:

An easy trick to making the streusel, which I adapted from Butternut Bakery as well as the maple glaze, is by using melted butter. This helps it combine with the flour much more easily then if using cold butter which you need to work in with fingertips.

After mixing the melted butter with the flour, cinnamon, brown and white sugar, and pecans, just pop it in the fridge to firm up so it’s easy to scatter while you prepare the rest of the pumpkin bread.

Pumpkin bread with maple glaze:

Maple and pumpkin flavors pair together beautifully, so I really enjoyed a touch of this maple glaze on top of the bread. The original recipe for the maple glaze by Butternut Bakery calls for double the amount that I actually ended up using, so I amended the amounts in my recipe below. Feel free to double the glaze if that’s something you think you’d like!

How to make the pumpkin bread:

It’s so simple!

In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, both sugars, oil, eggs, water and vanilla until smooth and combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and ground cloves. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir until just combined.

This batter goes into a prepared 9×5 inch loaf pan that’s been lightly greased and lined with parchment paper.

The streusel you previously prepared and placed in the fridge gets scattered evenly on the top, and bake for 60-65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out just clean.

If the topping seems to be browning too quickly, and the inside isn’t yet done, you can tent loosely with aluminum foil.

You can watch a step by step video under the nutritional label of the recipe!

What to serve with pumpkin bread?

I think this is great as is, especially with that maple glaze, but you can definitely warm a slice and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Yum! You can also serve with a dollop of whipped cream, or some salted caramel sauce instead of maple glaze.

Storing leftover pumpkin bread:

I’d recommend slicing all the pumpkin bread and storing the slices in the fridge for up to 5 days. This way, you can take out individual slices and warm them briefly in the microwave before eating. Leftovers taste wonderful!

This would freeze very well, tightly wrapped for up to 2 months.

I’m totally living the bbq life here. It’s bec I’m totally living the bbq life here. It’s become my mission to grill as many times as possible until it gets too hot to be outdoors. Lots of places in Khobar make it easy! We got these mini slider patties, potato buns, burger sauce and all the prepped and ready cut up veggies from @redmarblesa a newly opened premium butchery. Making hamburgers at home has never been this simple and convenient. I really like that it’s a one stop shot for your complete burger. Their burger sauce is really good too! Save this post for next time a burger craving hits!

La Gondola is a classic Italian restaurant in Khob La Gondola is a classic Italian restaurant in Khobar. Every khobari I know has been going to @lagondolaksa since their childhood. The best thing about this restaurant is that it stands the test of time! It’s still as good as it’s been, with excellent service, a varied menu and delicious food. I really love it and always leave happy! Their salads were perfect (caprese and roasted eggplant with yogurt dressing). They have a comforting pumpkin soup in a bread bowl, amazing flatbreads served complimentary as a starter, and great pasta dishes. We had the seafood pasta which was light and tasty (could have used a tad more sauce though), and an off menu penne rose I ask them to make when I’m craving pasta. Excellent meal! My only tip is try hard not to fill up on the starter bread, I always do 😂.

Arayes make the best lunch. You can grill them (pe Arayes make the best lunch. You can grill them (perfect for bbq season) or oven bake them like I did here. They are basically kafta(Lebanese meat mix) stuffed pita bread baked until crunchy and golden and served with extra pomegranate molasses. Yum! I always dip mine in yogurt 👌🏼

For the kafta:
1/2 lb ground beef 250g
1/2 lb ground lamb 250g
1/2 onion grated or pulsed in food processor
1 handful parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp seven spices or all spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch red chili flakes
To assemble:
4-5 large pita breads
olive oil
tomato paste optional
salt for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS
 
-Preheat oven to 200C. Prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
-Add all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well until combined. You can use a spoon, or gloved hands to mix.
-Cut each pita bread in half, and fill each pita pocket with about 1/4 cup of meat mixture. Cut each half into quarter ( I like using kitchen scissors for this). You can also peel open a pita bread to separate the two halves, spread the meat filling all over evenly, top with the other half then cut into quarters.
-Place all stuffed pita quarters evenly spaced onto the baking sheet, and drizzle both sides with olive oil (you can brush the oil on if you want). I like to rub a little tomato paste on some of the outside of the pita breads, it gives a little color and flavor. -Sprinkle salt onto the pita bread. Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping over halfway through until both sides are crisp and golden brown.
-Serve warm, preferably drizzled with pomegranate molasses, with a side of yogurt or a simple salad.

If you can access @pattis ‘s beautiful botanical If you can access @pattis ‘s beautiful botanical garden pop up in Aramco, you absolutely should. What an incredible setting in which to enjoy breakfast! I really liked their creme brûlée French toast, they have good basic pancakes, and a simple menu with other egg based and breakfast-y dishes. What really wows is the setting though. Swipe to see a video of the venue! Happy Saturday all!

Let’s give a big round of applause to Layla, the Let’s give a big round of applause to Layla, the best hand model and only 6 year old who patiently waits 30 minutes to eat the donuts she has her eye on because she knows her mom needs to take pictures😂 New donut places opened up in Khobar @do.donutsa . The place is cute and the donuts are pretty good! My favorite was the original glazed. It’s a brioche dough that’s thick and spongy and generously glazed. Swipe to see the inside of the creme brûlée donut- gorgeous crackly sugar top, but the custard filling inside underwhelmed me a bit. Lots of creative flavors to try! Maybe something for that weekend? 🥳🍩
