How To Make Pumpkin Pecan Streusel Bread

I really do think this is the best pumpkin bread recipe. That goes for the taste, texture, and just how easy it is to make.

1. Heat the oven and prep the pan.
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, then the wet ingredients in a separate large bowl. Mix the two together, then pour into the pan.
3. Make the streusel topping, sprinkle it over the batter, then bake.
4. Let the cake cool, slice, then enjoy.

What Size Loaf Pan Is Recommended For This Recipe?

I used a 9X5 metal, non-stick pan for this recipe. To prepare the pan, lightly spray the bottom with non-stick spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving some of the paper hanging over the sides. This will help remove the bread from the pan after baking.

How Do You Know When Pumpkin Bread Is Done?

The best way to test to see if the bread is cooked through is to insert a wooden pick, I use a skewer (or a cake tester) into the middle of the bread. The bread is done if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it.

Can You Freeze Pumpkin Bread?

Yep, you sure can. Tightly wrap the bread in aluminum foil, then place it in a zip-top bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the bread in the refrigerator or countertop, let come to room temperature or toast, then serve.
