Pumpkin Loaf


  • Filling Ingredients:
    • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
  • Streusel Ingredients:
    • 1/3 cup flour
    • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
    • 2 Tablespoons sugar
    • pinch of salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 35 grams (2 1/2 Tablespoons) cold butter
  • Loaf Ingredients:
    • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
    • pinch of allspice (optional)
    • pinch of salt
    • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
    • 1/4 cup oil
    • 1/4 cup melted butter
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • Filling Recipe:
    • make sure to toast the pecans – toast at 350 degrees F for 5-8 minutes until aromatic
    • when the pecans are completely cooled, chop them into little pieces
    • mix all the filling ingredients together!
  • Streusel Recipe:
    • whisk together the flour, brown sugar, sugar, salt, and cinnamon
    • cut the cold butter into small chunks and add them to the mix
    • work the butter into the flour with your hands until you get something that feels like wet sand – powdery but holds together when you press it in your hand
  • Loaf Recipe:
    • whisk together all the ingredients from the flour to the salt
    • in another bowl, whisk together everything else from the pumpkin puree to the brown sugar
    • sift in the flour mixture
    • mix everything together just until there is no more flour visible – don’t mix the batter too much
    • get one large or 2 small loaf pans and butter the inside
    • fill it 1/3 of the way with the batter
    • sprinkle in the filling in a thin layer, but enough to cover the batter from showing
    • pour more batter on top – 2/3 of the way up the loaf pan
    • press tightly on the streusel to create a large clump, then break it apart into chunks – like rocks on a beach!
    • sprinkle it all over the top of the batter
    • lightly press the layer of streusel down into the batter so that they stay in place
    • place in the oven preheated at 350 degrees F for about 50-60 minutes until a small knife poked into the center comes out clean
