Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Bread

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Streusel Topping

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Honey Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions
 

For the Bread

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin, oil, eggs, sugars, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Stir in dry ingredients just until combined.
  • Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top.

For the Streusel

  • Mix brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and cinnamon until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle over the batter.
  • Bake 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

For the Glaze

  • Stir powdered sugar and honey until smooth, then drizzle over the warm bread. Let it set before slicing.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use parchment paper with an overhang to lift the loaf out cleanly.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; just stir until the dry ingredients are blended in.
  • The glaze should be thick enough to cling but still pourable.
  • You can swap the honey for maple syrup if you want a deeper flavor twist.
