I had you at pecan streusel topping, didn’t I?
I think it’s safe to say that this pumpkin bread deserves a spot in the Recipe Arsenal. Everyone needs a great recipe for pumpkin bread, and for me – this is it.
On its own, I think the pumpkin bread would already be a winner. It’s perfectly moist, and has just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. But then, you add the pecan streusel topping, and that’s where my heart is truly won over. You’ve already seen here that I tend to prefer any typical baked good with a streusel topping, and this pumpkin bread is no exception. As you bite into it, you get that extra explosion of cinnamon flavor and crunchiness on top, which have also made their way throughout the bread itself by way of toasted pecans {and lots of pumpkin pie spice, which I used in place of the mixture from the recipe} in the batter.
The recipe itself makes quite a bit of bread: either two big loaves, or 36 muffins. For me, it was one loaf and 18 muffins, because I don’t want to decide which I like better.
I want them both. I want muffins because they’re adorable, and they arrive ready-to-eat in perfect little individual portions. I want bread because this is pumpkin bread we’re talking about, isn’t it? Fall baking just wouldn’t be complete without it.
