Hey there everyone! While we’re in the midst of cool temperatures and overpriced Halloween candy, I present Easy Pumpkin Bread with Brown Sugar Streusel–incredibly moist, amazing pumpkin flavor, and topped with a crunchy brown sugar streusel. I know I’m going to have to make this a couple of times this season. Seriously the easiest and best pumpkin bread you’ll have. I’m just coming on here to write a brief recipe because let’s face it, there’s almost no way to go wrong with it!

Oh, how could I forget! It also happens to be #nationalpumpkinday. Trust me, make this bread and send me your pictures!

The Libby’s pumpkin bread mixes were always my favorite thing around the holidays. It was extremely easy to whip up and could never go bad. I knew I had to make this for myself in a better way! No joke, this bread is just as moist… maybe more. I’m a little mad at myself that I don’t have some right now to snack on as I write this.

I had planned to post this recipe a couple weeks ago for those early October pumpkin lovers, but here we are. Still plenty of time right?? I’ll never be on top of it as much as the Starbucks PSL coming out in August. Anyone here a PSL lover? I’m a fan, but maybe only one or two per season, I find them sweeter and sweeter every year. Plus, when you can make this bread for almost less than a grande latte, I’ll choose that any day! This easy pumpkin bread with brown sugar streusel might be my favorite fall dessert.

Let me know what kind of recipes you all have in mind or want to see? I’m thinking more pumpkin, some spices, some breakfast goodies. Still planning, but should have some good ones out soon. Check out some of my fall breakfast favorites here.

what you need:

• Pumpkin puree (1 can)
• Sugar
• Brown Sugar
• Vanilla extract
• Eggs
• Flour
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Chai spice (I make this homemade. A little cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice.)
• Salt

how to make the easiest pumpkin bread with brown sugar streusel

Start by whisking dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk sugars, pumpkin, and oil until fully combined. Next, add in the vanilla extract and eggs and continue to whisk until fully incorporated.

Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and continue to whisk. No mixer needed here! Add half of the milk and continue to mix. Then, add the rest of the dry ingredients, then milk, alternating each.

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and tap the pan to even it out and pop bubbles. Sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter, then pop in the oven.

Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. Poke the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it’s done, if it’s chunky or sticky, it needs more time. Add intervals of 5 minutes each time after the 1 hr 20 min mark.

tips for the most moist pumpkin bread

• Don’t over mix the batter, otherwise it’ll become dry and crumbly after baked.
• Make sure not to under bake the bread. There’s nothing more sad than looking forward to a nice slice and it’s not done. Make sure to fully poke a toothpick through the bread and make sure it’s completely done.
• If the streusel starts to become too brown, lightly cover it will foil and poke some holes to still keep a vent.
• Just incase your bread pan is quite full, add a small baking sheet under the pan before the baking process to catch any drippings. (Crunchy snacks for later if ya know what I mean 😏😏)

savoring and storing

Congrats! You just made the easiest pumpkin bread out there. Mmmm, that warm pumpkin streusel smell is just the best thing isn’t it? Anthropologie definitely need a spiced pumpkin bread with streusel candle. Maybe I need to take up candle making??

Once the bread comes out of the oven, let cool for at least 10 minutes, then remove from the pan. Slice into thick pieces and enjoy!

Store in a Tupperware, bag, or cover the bread pan with plastic wrap. Store at room temp for 2-3 days or 4-5 days in the fridge.
