Pumpkin Streusel Bread recipe that solves dry dense loaves Learn 3 secrets to soft moist bread that melts in your mouth every time

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar (for streusel topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes (4 tablespoons)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Mix the dry ingredients first: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Cream the butter and brown sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
  • Make the streusel topping: In a small bowl, blend flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with fingertips or pastry cutter until crumbly.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Spread evenly, then sprinkle streusel topping generously on top, pressing lightly to adhere without sinking.
  • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes; check doneness with a toothpick inserted in center—should come out with moist crumbs but no raw batter. Cover with foil if streusel browns too quickly after 40 minutes.
  • Cool bread in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
