Best Pumpkin Bread

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! This year I am especially thankful for my son’s contagious positive outlook.

My husband had to work late one night, so my son and I decided we would grab dinner at one of my favorite locally owned cafe’s. They have the best Pumpkin Chai – I could live on it! And I had a gift card, so there was no doubting we’d go there.

When I got there I realized I didn’t have the gift card with me like I thought I did. My son chimed in and said, “That’s okay! You can just use it next time!” I was appreciative of his positive attitude and said, “I like the way you think!” He was looking for the good – something I have tried ingraining in him since the moment he could understand what I was saying.

If you are thankful for someone in your life, bake them a loaf of this Pumpkin Bread with Crumb Topping and tie these cute Thankful for Sweet Friends Like You Gift Tags to it! They are free, just click and print.

What You’ll Need for the Bread:

• 3 1/3 cups 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 Cloves
• 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
• 2 cups White Sugar
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 cup Oil
• 4 Eggs
• 1 (15 oz) can Pumpkin Puree
• 2/3 cup Water
• 1 tsp Vanilla

And the Crumb Topping:

• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 3/4 cup Flour
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Cold Butter, Cubed

How to Make Pumpkin Bread with Crumb Topping

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two bread pans with non-stick spray. (I put a piece of parchment paper in the pan cut to the size of the bottom of the pan, then spray with non-stick spray.)
• In a large bowl, mix together 3 1/3 cups 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 cloves, and 1/4 tsp ground ginger.
• Mix in 2 cups white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
• Pour in 1 cup canola oil, mix until just combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
• Add in 2 eggs, mix. Add in remaining 2 eggs, mix. The mixture will still be crumbly.
• Add in 15 oz can of pumpkin puree, 2/3 cup water, and 1 tsp vanilla and mix until well combined.
• Divide the batter evenly between prepared bread pans.
• Make the crumb topping by combining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup flour, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Cut in 1/2 cup cold, cubed butter with a fork. Mix until you have crumbs.
• Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the tops of the batter in both pans.
• Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• Allow bread to cool before removing from the pans.
