Ingredients
-
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
-
1 1/2 tsp salt
-
2 tsp baking soda
-
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
-
1/4 tsp ground ground cloves
-
1/4 tsp ground allspice
-
1/4 tsp ground ginger
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
-
4 large eggs
-
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
-
2/3 cup water
-
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free)
-
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
-
1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)
-
3/4 cup all purpose flour (for topping)
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8×4 bread pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and grease again.
-
In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger.
-
Add granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing to combine evenly.
-
Make a well in the center and pour in the oil. Stir gently until the oil is just incorporated.
-
Add eggs two at a time, mixing after each addition. Batter will appear thick and slightly dry.
-
Add pumpkin puree, water, and Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free). Stir until batter becomes smooth and fully blended. Scrape bowl sides and bottom to avoid dry spots.
-
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and smooth the tops.
-
In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for topping. Add cold butter and cut it in using a fork or pastry cutter until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
-
Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over both pans and lightly press to help it adhere.
-
Bake 55–65 minutes, checking with a tester. If the top browns faster than the center cooks, tent loosely with foil.
-
Allow loaves to cool in pans for 10 minutes. Then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
-
Slice when mostly cooled and serve.
Notes
For variation, add chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans, or dried cranberries to the batter. Store cooled bread in an airtight container up to three days or freeze well-wrapped for longer storage.
