How to Make the Recipe

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, 1/2 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, and 3/4 tsp cinnamon until crumbly. Set aside for the streusel topping.
3. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
4. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, baking soda, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your pumpkin bread turns out perfectly:
