  • 9×5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • wire rack

Ingredients
  

For the Bread

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 0.75 cups white granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Streusel Topping

  • 0.33 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Honey Glaze

  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.25 cup honey

Instructions
 

For the Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

For the Streusel Topping

  • Mix the brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Honey Glaze

  • Whisk together the honey and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the bread while it’s still warm and let it set before slicing.

Notes

Use parchment paper with overhanging sides so you can lift the loaf out cleanly. Make sure the glaze is thick but pourable so it clings to the top without running off. Always cool the bread slightly before adding glaze to avoid it melting too quickly. Fresh pumpkin puree can be used, but be sure it’s not too watery.
