Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Chopped pecans
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the pumpkin bread batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 6

To make the pecan topping, combine the chopped pecans, cold cubed butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the pumpkin bread batter.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve the pecan-topped pumpkin bread. Enjoy with your favorite hot beverage or as a sweet treat!
