Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup melted butter or neutral oil
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- 1/3 cup flour (for streusel)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for streusel)
- A pinch of salt (for streusel)
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (for streusel)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger).
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, pumpkin purée, melted butter/oil, sour cream/yogurt, vanillla, and sugars until smooth.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- For streusel, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and cold butter until coarse crumbs form; add nuts if desired.
- Pour half the batter into the pan, sprinkle with half the streusel, then layer remaining batter and streusel on top.
- Bake for 50-65 minutes until toothpick comes out clean; tent with foil if streusel darkens too quickly.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Always measure flour correctly to avoid dense loaves. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise.
