Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Grease a light metal loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Make the Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Using a handheld mixer, cream these together until smooth—this should take about 1 minute.
  • Fold in the pumpkin puree and mix well. Crack in the eggs, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully blended.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • Add the ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour to the batter. Mix on low speed until just combined.

Spread the Batter

  • Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Prepare the Streusel Topping

  • In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Assemble and Bake

  • Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes.
  • Check if done by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool the Bread

  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Prepare the Glaze (Optional)

  • Whisk together confectioners’ sugar, maple extract, maple syrup, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency if necessary.

Serve

  • Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread and allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing.
