Instructions

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

Pumpkin Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9X5-inch loaf pan with baking nonstick spray. Line the bottom and 2 sides of the pan with parchment paper. Spray again.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
    2 cups All-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Baking soda, 3 teaspoon Ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon Salt
  • In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter (make sure it is cooled to room temperature before using), sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a whisk to mix until just combined.
    ½ cup Unsalted butter, ¾ cup White granulated sugar, ¾ cup Brown sugar, 1 can Pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract, 2 Large eggs
  • Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the bread sit in the hot pan for 10 minutes. Then, grab the parchment paper to take it out of the pan and cool on a cooling rack. Cool completely before pouring cream cheese frosting on top.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a small bowl using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla on high speed until smooth.
    2 oz Cream cheese, 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • Add the powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Pour in the milk and mix. It should be pourable consistency.
    ½ cup Powdered sugar, ¼ cup Milk
  • Place the cooling rack over a cookie sheet and pour the glaze on top.

Notes

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the bread.
High altitude baking- Add an extra 2 tablespoon of flour.
Pull out dairy ingredients 2 hours before baking.
