Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup flour (for streusel topping)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (for streusel topping)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (for streusel topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with vegetable oil or line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in half of the chopped walnuts into the batter.
- For the streusel topping, in a small bowl, mix rolled oats, 1/4 cup flour, coconut oil, and brown sugar until crumbly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped walnuts and the streusel topping evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice and serve. Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • For the most tender bread, be careful not to overmix the batter - mix just until the ingredients are combined. • Use fresh, high-quality spices to ensure the most vibrant flavor profile. • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute with agave nectar or additional brown sugar. • Toast the walnuts before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra depth to the bread. • Make sure your pumpkin puree is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, to control the sweetness. • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it maintain its structure. • For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to the wet ingredients. • Store the bread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
