Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed (can substitute with light brown sugar)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (do not use pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 tsp maple extract (can substitute vanilla)
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 or 9-inch light metal loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper and grease.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth, about 1 minute. Add pumpkin, then eggs, mixing well after each addition. Add spices, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  3. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and set aside.
  4. For the streusel, stir melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice together until it resembles wet sand. Drop heaping handfuls of streusel over the top of the bread.
  5. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Prepare the glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar, maple extract, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the bread and let set before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your butter is softened but not melted to achieve the right texture. Do not over-mix the batter; mixing just until combined will keep your bread soft and tender.
