Ingredients
Streusel Topping
- ⅔ cup almond flour
- 4 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Pumpkin Bread
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, see note
- pinch nutmeg
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper that overhangs on the sides.
- Make streusel topping first. Add all streusel ingredients to a bowl. Use fork or fingers to work butter into dry ingredients, making a crumbly mixture. Place streusel topping in fridge while you make the bread.
- To make the bread, add eggs, pumpkin purée, molasses, maple syrup and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in remaining bread ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Pour bread batter into lined pan. Take streusel topping out of fridge. Sprinkle streusel topping onto bread.
- Then, lightly place a piece of aluminum foil over top of bread pan.
- Bake for 40 to 42 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow bread to cool for an hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- I recommend using an 8 inch by 4 inch bread pan instead of a 9x5.
- This bread can be made with or without the streusel topping. The bread won't be very tall without the topping though.
- Cut butter into small cubes and work with fingers or fork to incorporate butter into streusel topping ingredients.
- Use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
- If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, substitute the same amount of cinnamon.
- Lightly sprinkle streusel topping onto bread before baking.
- Bake with a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the bread pan. This prevents the topping from burning.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- This bread may sink a little in the middle due to the streusel topping. This is normal and the bread still tastes great!
- Allow bread to cool for about an hour before slicing and serving. It is soft.
